ok. so what lube are you shooting on the .62 cal? i see what you shoot in the others.
oh, and what powder and what charge?

and that is the cleanest touch hole and pan i have ever seen.  looks like new. what do you use to clean with?
i am using t/c #13 solvent, and sometimes the citrus traditions solvent. (gave my last of that to jerry)

I used to use CLP Breakfree a long time ago, on all my weapons, have they comeout with anything better specificaly for black powder?

Oxyoke prelubed pillow ticking...I'll double check tonight because when they arrive I noticed they did not have that characteristic orange color, nor do they smell like wintergreen.

100grns Goex 2F

Pump flush steaming hot soapy water after every range trip...toothbrush the entire lock asm, use Q-Tips & pipe cleaners with 91% alcohol every 10-15 shots while at the range, wipe the pan with an old washcloth after every shot, etc

Ohh. o.k. i do everything but the alcohol and the wash rag, (no pan.) on mine.
i used to shoot oxyoke prelubed a long time ago, and now that i think of it they were pretty clean. 

Have been using a home lube since my return to the hobby, may have to go back.

What about wonderlube soaked patches? or bore butter. any comments?

Oxyoke prelubed patches are lubed with Oxyoke wonderlube.
Under contract with Oxyoke, TC sells the same stuff and calls it Natural Lube.
Bore butter is just a slang term for any of the commercial greasy type lubes.

Just remember with those type lubes, they're not wet enough to shoot without wiping between shots in dry/low humidity conditions.
