I recon this is my first post but i wanted to tell everbody that i shoot remington cap and ball sometimes and i bought some candle wax from a candle factory up the road thinking id have to add something but i used this under the ball and shot 38 rounds and it was as smooth and loose as when i started plus it cleaned up easier than ever. Its made from bees wax and vegetable oil if you look up Lighthouse Candles you'll find how to contact him his name is Charles Mckenzie and hell probly be glad to send you some. I gave five dollars for enough to last for years. Theyr nice people there. Tell the girl that answers Garry Robinson sent you . Well i geuss for a first time i was long winded wasnt i.
I forgot. Its also a real good patch lube too
Thanks for the heads up Garry.
Is this stuff like the liquid candle fuel or is it thicker and more like soft wax? Thanks anyway for the new area to look in to. Fox
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
A buck fifty toilet wax ring will last for ever! thmbsup
I LIKE THAT!!
Thanks
[hmm] Toilet wax ring?? Probably won't shoot worth crap. Sorry, couldn't resist. 'SNTY"
ROFL ROFL ROFL 'SNTY"
Maybe could use that as an excuse! ;D
I always used crisco in mine .I guess whatever you can come up with thats inexpensive and works. Just something that keeps the flash from getting in contact with the powder in the other cylinders. [conf]
I use Crisco and bees wax to make a cookie and load it under the ball on my revolvers it keeps the fouling soft and helps with clean up
thmbsup I use a similar cookie myself Creekside . I use beeswax and Olive oil for mine,
I use the same mix with a little olive oil to dip lube bullets I powder the cookies with a little corn meal to keep them from sticking together

(Off Topic) I saw Sweed's name in a post above on this resurrected topic. I haven't heard anything in the last few months about his health. Will someone fill me in please.

Was wondering about him as well.
He logged onto another forum on Dec 9th so it looks like he is still with us. Or at least he was a month ago.

Me, too.
