Snake-eye, SASS#45097 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 A friend of mine gave me these bullets for a muzzleloader. When I opened the box I found that the lube was dried hard and flaking off. I have some Nature Lube 1000 and my question is would that be a good replacement lube to use on these bullets.

Thunder Creek Kid Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I’d use as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Maybe smear a little Bore Butter on 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runamuck, SASS #49216L Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I had some old bullets that were in the same condition. I smeared them with bore butter and they worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muleshoe Bill SASS #67022 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 bore butter or Crisco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Any BP lube would be fine to rehab these bullets. Just take a tube or tub to the range and smear a bit on when loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I had some .58 cal. conical's, that looked kinda like that. I smeared some SPG lube on them, and they loaded/shot just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Yes, that would work. When I shoot these at the range, I swab between shots if I can. --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jailhouse Jim, SASS #13104 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Those came with SPG IIRC. Depends on temperature and how soft your lube is. If it's really soft, mix in some beeswax and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Like Dawg, I swab between shots....even with my smooth bores, and especially with rifled bores. I went to the local pharmacy, and purchased some alcohol swabs, that folks use on an injection site, for say, an insulin shot. They come in packets, and are square, and look like cleaning patches, but are soaked in alcohol. It works great. You run the alcohol patches, down the bore, to the breech, twist it, and bring it back up. The alcohol evaporates very fast, and cleans the bore, too. I have tried a patch with lube/oil/Hoppes, and I have to follow that up with a dry patch. I have, in desperation, even used spit (as many of us have), and that is no good either, and I worry about rust doing that. The alcohol swabs are great! My Two Bits. W.K.
