Yup, ol Alox lube and the 'old' Hoppes #9. The two best smells in all my shooting years!!!!!!!
I have a Hoppes air freshener in my truck I love that smell
The smell of Winchester 748 when you take the cap off the tin....Beautiful.
Hooroo.

I can't stomach Alox at all. I don't shoot it much because of the odor.
Now a freshly fired shot shell, that is nice
Alox smells like granny's laundry basket! IMR4895! Ahhhh

"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
Thomas Paine
I can't smell alox at all and barely get a whiff of anything from the hoppes.
Alox reminds me of a job I had at a metal forming factory. All the metal was coated in it.
Personally, I'd rather smell fresh baked bread out of the oven.

Yes, I too like the smell of Alox! I associate the smell to boolits ready to be introduced to a brass case which is ready to be introduced to a steel barrel. Now, when that aloxed boolit inside that steel barrel gets introduced to a steel firing pin....now that is magic, which produces another favorite smell. But, ain't it cool how so many of the ingredients we use have good smells? I just can't get the wifey to replace the Chanel #5 with Hoppes #9.

when reloading and when the bottom of the bullets, the only smell that I do not like is when I throw the wax in molten lead, alox is delicious smell for me.
quando ricarico e quando fondo i proiettili , l'unico odore che non mi piace è quello quando butto la cera nel piombo fuso , alox è buonissimo odore per me .
Me, I just love the smell of burnt powder on a rifle range in the morning. Preferably during a match.
My girlfriend, well, we're getting hitched next year, she wants to have the wedding at a range. We've got a plan for that. Guys, when she's like that, you just know you've got a keeper. Down side is, she likes her guns too. Last acquisition was a Winchester Model 70 Varmint in 243. 65 vintage, when the barrel wears out, going to replace it with a Hart barrel.

I am not crazy my mom had me tested
Theres a fine line between genius and crazy .. I'm that line
and depending on the day I might just step over that line !!!
I like the smell of alox, love the smell of Hoppes #9, and nothing but nothing beats the combination of smells of freshly fired .22LR and then being swabbed with Hoppes #9. Brings back powerful memories of my Dad and me on cold winter days cleaning our guns at the kitchen table.

I used to love hoppes until I got a whif of eezox. Now that's some good smelling stuff...
Anyone else smelled Frog Lube? Finally a cleaner and lube that she won't kick me out of the house from the smell.
