There's 2 almost identical yellow patch lubes that are the most popular, TC Bore Butter and Wonderlube. The smell that you remember is tincture of Wintergreen.
I rub the Bore Butter paste into each dry cut patch by hand which melts it into the fabric and then store them in a zip lock bag:--->>> https://gnarlygorilla.com/natural-lu...SABEgLzs_D_BwE
duelist1954 shows how to make revolver wads that are similar to Wonder Wads, but I don't think that it would work the same on patches as TC Bore Butter does.
One or 2 tubes of Bore Butter should last a very long time.
The duelist1954 wad recipe contains mutton tallow and bees wax which are harder to find than TC Bore Butter:--->>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgNVPC2wmWI

Go to the stickies in this section, and read the muzzleloading shot gun topic.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
