I was chatting with an old, old, odd (98 years odd) pal last evening, and he said he and his dad used to hunt with an old 45/70 paper patched. They would use bag balm as the lube cookie. "Just enough wax to stiffen the balm up a bit", and he added, "Hell, if it was cold enough we just put it in the case between the wads right outta the tin". I read the ingredients, a 3% antiseptic, petroleum jelly and a lanolin base. What do you think, would it be worth exploring? Old Darwin J said it worked great. Now, the mix a hundred years ago may be different than what is in my cupboard now, but for all I really shoot...
