I would go with a low viscosity synthetic if I were going to put motor oil in.
I recently came across a partial can of Kroil that had no pressure left in the can. So, I poked a hole in the can, and dumped it into my Ed's Red. Smells like hell now, but still works. I won't do that again.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.
