Hi
Has anyone got any bore butter that they no longer use and want to sell?
Thank you
probly cheaper to buy from the shop, or just have a go making some lol
Give wonderlube a try. Kranks sell it, about £15 for a large poy full. I use it for lubing 45/70 bullets, 577 patches and to cover the balls in my cap and ball revolvers. Smells nice too. Tim
If your just after a bullet lube try the rcbs case sizing lube I use it for the Lee 220gn conicals I use in my ROA it is cheap compared to the purpose made ones and a tiny bit goes a long way.

It's not my faulty, I was just.....
if your that tight use 10/40 engine oil lol, all its there for is to stop leaks and stop flash over. and before i get any smart replys back a lot of americans do it and they made the bloody things lol, personaly make bore butter but dont use it due to wads being a much better and cleaner idea and let you shoot for one hell of a lot longer, but you might not shoot it as much as me and might only want to let a few off so butter a nice idea
As above I use a wad. I shoot 18 shots each session but still lightly lube my conical bullets. I have a small Tobacco tin with the foam from a pellet tin on the bottom and up each side, it has some RCBS case lube on it and before I leave the range I put 18 bullets in it then by the time I get to the range the following week they are lubed.

I cannot see how anyone could possibly use oil to seal the chambers on a revolver. Axle grease, yes. Or more commonly petroleum jelly.

I use Trex - see Morrisons or other supermarket, this is the same as Crisco - what the Americans use, have a peruse of the Cowboy Action Shooting websites.
You can also melt in a little beeswax - makes it thicker and add a drop of olive oil.
The aforementioned works well on homemade wads.
just bung a wad over the bullet if you still unsure

There are a couple of options that are worth looking at as alternatives. I've used Lithium grease in a syringe for a number of years. The trick is to find a syringe that uses a square edged flange rather than a bung across the face. In the latter type the rubber swells and it becomes unusable fairly quickly. The one I found has been in my box for more than four years now and still works.
The other option is to check out the products offered by Gunther Stifter (Google Stifter Gunflints). He offers specialist kit and his stuff is used by many of the top shooters in the world. Although the site is mostly on German, his English is excellent and emails are usually replied to promptly.
sounds like my wifes cooking........little beeswax - makes it thicker and add a drop of olive oil.
under bullet..just bung a wad over the bullet if you still unsure
as aside is not flashover just a urban myth.....
