Glenn was good enough to send me some lube to test. The most important is the BPCR lube but the weather has been too lousy to shoot it.
I went down today with my .475 revolver for a leading test and it was dark and started to rain but I fired them all. I shot without a solid rear rest, had the devil of a time seeing the red dot on the target so I did not expect tight groups. I have to design a target I can see.
I chose my very accurate PB boolit that always leaves some lead towards the muzzle but none at the forcing cone.
I started with carnauba red which shot very well. Next was Alox 2500 plus, then 50-50 Alox and finally Felix lube. I cleaned the bore good between each lube and the first shot was always out a little. The strange thing was the direction the first shot was out for each lube.
The only one to give leading over a longer length of the bore was the 50-50 Alox, it was in the full length of the barrel. The rest of the lubes had lead in the last 3" or so of the bore. However the first patch with each lube had the same amount of lead on them and the lead pushed completely out with the second patch and was gone with a slight brushing.
Can I say one lube is better then another? NO, they all worked very well and the texture of each is just what I like. I can not say to any of you that you have to buy one over the other at this point since I need to test more under better conditions.
I can say without question that they are all better then any store bought lube I ever used. Glenn is doing a might fine job and you can't go wrong with any one of his lubes.
These were shot at 50 yd's.
OOPS, you can't tell which is which. The top is 50-50 Alox, the bottom left is Carnaube Red, center is 2500 Plus and the right is Felix.
As you can see, the targets suck for a red dot because I ran out of my other targets.
