Hello, everyone. Now I enjoy mixing up experimental batches of bullet lube as much as some of you guys..but there could be a possible danger of bore corrosion..Santa brought me Paul Mathews latest book on Black Powder Bullet Lubes. He states that long ago, he used water-pump grease on breech-block of original Sharps carbine..hot saopy water clean-up & carefully oiled..later found rust in bore. Used same water-pump grease in smokeless lube..cleaned with Hoppe's & oiled..caught rust just in time..some unknown ingredient in grease reacted with heat/pressure in bore?
I see alot of posted lubes containing commercial oils or grease of unknown make-up. Just a heads up.
