Making Dry Patch Lube with 'Moose Milk'

[@dturner2089]

This is a good video. Ballistol is great. I use it for cleaning the bore and I wipe the wood down with Ballistol as well. As I understand it, water soluble oil is very similar to Ballistol. I have tried this method at a 7-1 water-oil mixture. The patches were quite dry and the fired patch would smolder on the ground down range. It was really hot and dry. I literally had to go down range and put the patches out to prevent a fire. I think I worked my way down to a 3-1 water-oil mixture, but still had occasional smoldering patches. I agree with randyboone2637 about drying the patches flat. I put my soaked patching on an old window screen that I had laid down flat. It seemed to help even drying from top-down as well as end-to-end.

Thanks Uncle Sasquatch i am going make some and give it a try

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

Thanks for watching!

[@randyboone2637]

Good information! I have read about this somewhere also. The advised laying the soaked patching out flat to let dry so the oil water mixture doesn't run to the end of the patching when hanging up to dry.I really don't know it would make any difference, but thought I would pass that along.

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

I hung mine up with a clothes pin. It doesn't seemed to have made a difference. Thanks for watching.

[@shannonludwick5738]

I've tried a lot of things I definitely going to try this thank you and thank you for what you do keep the black powder rendezvous going

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

I hope it works for you. Some use Murphy's Oil Soap and water. There are several different 'formulas'. Thanks for watching.

I just use bee wax and extra virgin olive n melt the bee was n put t My patches in it while it's hot n let it dry I use it on my lee r.e.a.l bullets also

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

Thanks for sharing that and thanks for watching.

I suppose a benefit would be weather resistance. Bore butter gets runny when it’s hot and hard when it’s cold. Changing viscosity of the lubricant might change muzzle velocity.

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

It can affect velocity and can change accuracy. Thanks for watching.

Yes, purchasing Dutch Shultz's Black powder system was the best money I ever spent.

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

Thanks for watching!

[@George-tz1cv]

Dutch Shoultz system is still available on line even though he left us in 2022. I’ve been using Dutch’s system since 1999. Never found a downside

[@StevenWhite-s9e]

Dutch's systems is worth the money. However, I've used his cutting oil/water mixture and the patch material continues to dry out over time, so much so, that I have to soak them again after a year or so. I started using 0 to 1 water to cutting oil and they stay lubed.

Good information. Good to see you and Jake. Give him a pet for me.

Thanks for watching and I will.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Now see i didnt know anything about this. Great Video Unc

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

That's what I try to do..inform the masses..LOL..Thanks for watching.

[@criscross6591]

👍👍

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

Thanks for watching.

[@mattefinnish8411]

Will that work for shotgun wads?

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

Don't know.It might.

[@kr6dr]

Why not just spray Balistol onto the ticking? You are going to evaporate the water out anyway.

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

You could but the idea is to produce an almost dry patch so you don't get your hands and gear all slick and slippery. Thanks for watching.
