Good video. Thanks for taking us along. TC

Like a lot of your videos it got me thinking, and I fell down the lube rabbit hole. Don't want to waste your time with a lot of questions, but do you have any concerns about using petroleum products in your barrel? Thanks for another excellent video.

I am not really concerned when it comes to Mink oil, I've tried it with other guns like my T/C .40 Hawken and patches, but I can tell you after this test I will be using T/C Bore Butter for the Maxi-Balls. The ease of loading and the accuracy seems to me about the same with that compared to the Mink oil. I shot ten rounds recently the other day with my T/C .40 Hawken with patches lubed in mink oil with no issues.

Hi. This rifle, made in Spain, with the slow twist (twist in 66"), is for round balls. More acuraccy. Saludos desde España

@@hawkenrifles His rifle is a 45 caliber. These were only made for two years here in America. The story goes that they used Douglas Barrels in these early rifles. When they moved production to Spain they only made 50 calibers. The early rifles had brass ram-rod Ferrells. The Spanish ones had steel Ferrells. I started out with a Spanish CVA and it served me well for about ten years. I now have an early model in 45 caliber.
