Hows this before and after?

[FrontierMuzzleloading]

I started a lubricant business earlier last year and am now onto my 3rd patch lube offering.

I normally have to sit on the floor or at the bench for an hour or more, hand lapping a barrel with a snug patch with some kind of polishing compound that normally dries out, gets flaky and rips holes in the patch.

As an experiment I put together a shooting lube WITH the break in/polishing compounds needed to safely remove burrs, chatter or even light rust/pitting over so many shots.

I started with my brothers new .54cal CVA Hawken my father and I bought and are putting together for him as his Christmas gift.

The factory barrel wasn't bad, it did have its share of deeper scratches in the bore from the rifling process as well as some chatter marks.

After 12 shots with 80 and 90gr goex 2fg loads

Then switching over to my WELL used (2,000+ shots) .58cal Hawken.

I am still doing a lot of testing to figure out how much is to much and when its best to stop using it before switching back over to your normal patch lube.

This seems just so much easier and more effective than doing it by hand as all the pressure the patched ball builds up, will completely fill in the rifling and polish it while you shoot.

What do you guys think? Am I on to something good that will be of good use?

whats it called, is it available

[FrontierMuzzleloading]

Not available yet. I am still working on data to provide, along with how to info, video and pictures. All these little details help for best results.

Let me know, I 'm always looking for a better way to do this absolutely necessary procedure!

[johnson1942]

this is one way to do it and another is with a rotateing range rod with rubbing powder on a patch. yours maybe simpler.

What bore camera are u using. My eBay chepos don't get that good.

[FrontierMuzzleloading]

a cheap $15 ebay camera lol. You need to add some extra light by pushing a cotton ball in front of the camera. 3" - 4" in front of the camera usually does the best.

The process if memory serves is called fire-lapping the bore.

[FrontierMuzzleloading]

almost, but we're using patched round balls and do not have to used reduced loads, nor do we have to stop to clean the bore out after each shot.
