NO flyers whatsoever in the .30-30 which was uncleaned from last Sunday as well. Temps were in the low 60's then and today, very low humidity for this area. So these tests aren't in extreme weather or at extremely high velocity, but it works in big-grooved boolits at very low to medium velocity, and also while loading-up a multi-grooved boolit at medium rifle velocity (should be a shade over 2100 fps).
Now to test in extreme temperatures and and high velocity.
Those of you serious about this, and live where there is some real cold weather right now, I really need to call on you to either make some of this stuff or let me send you some to test before it starts to warm up. I'd like to test it at least to 20F in pistols (say .45 ACP or Colt or .38 Special) and in rifles both small and large, up to as high a velocity as you have known-good loads for. We need to have direct comparisons to those known-good groups with other lubes and use the test parameters we outlined previously (start with a clean bore, then two-ten-shot groups and another two, ten-shot groups a few days later without cleaning in-between). Please post here or PM me so we can get this going, I think I'm really on to something with the tranny gel, but if it doesn't shoot in the cold we need to know and try to figure out why before we run out of winter.
