    JPW mixed with LLA

    Could JPW mixed with LLA cause burn marks around the cylinder down the sides of the Barrel? Lately I find a lot of hard to remove soot on the sides of Guns shooting Clays and lubed with LLA, JPW and Mineral spirits. The only change is that I am lubing cases with a little Lanolin.
    Thanks

    Maybe try a little less of the JPW or leave it out all together.LLA is probably one of the least sooty of lubes.Adding other ingredients can help keep the bore from leading,but it does gunk up the rest of your gun.Perhaps wipe down the gun more frequently when shooting?

    I have mixed my own and have purchased my 45-45-10 and it does not leave any excess soot, or debris on my guns...

    Like plain alox, a little goes a long way...

    I use the Lee Alox/JPW combo without problem, no soot or leading. I never understood why you would want to cook off the solvent from the JPW and then add MS back in. I heat the can of JPW on my hotplate (outdoors) slowly until it's melted, then add one bottle of Lee Alox and stir. Let cool and put the cover back on. Simple & works great!

    Thanks,
    I lubed and sized a batch without JPW and went to the range yesterday. The gun does seem a little cleaner, but I will continue to watch it and adjust.
    Thanks again
