Since I know we have many lube experts here I thought it would be a good place to ask.
I have always shot inline muzzleloaders loaded with sabots and a jacketed or cast bullet. As of recently I got the itch to try a traditional muzzleloader.
I just bought a 54cal TC renegade and a 50 cal TC hawken. I do not have much knowledge about shooting these style muzzleloaders. I remember when I was really young Dad killed a few deer with TC maxi balls lubed with bore butter.
I would like some recommendations on patch lube and also conical bullet lube. There are all kinds of recipes online but I'm not sure where to start. Some think less is more with a patch lube and use ballistol cut with water.
My goal for these is to eventually just shoot paper patched cast bullets in it. I also am gonna try my hand at making my own black powder.
If no one is against it I will post some results here. (Not sure if there's much interest in black powder shooting or not)
Well that was long winded to ask for help with a lube. Guess I'm just a little excited about the new project.
