Black-Powder Muzzleloader/Bullet Lube$5
210views•1 week ago
Howdy Townpost. I've got a batch of my bullet lube made up and I'm looking to sell it since I don't need as much as I produced here for just myself. I had a buyer who wanted some bullet lube and I volunteered to make some for him and I wanted some for myself as well. After a fair bit of research and some testing I've come up with a bullet lube that I'm pretty happy with. It smells like coconut and even works as a decent lip balm.
This is a primarily lamb tallow and beeswax based lube with some coconut oil added to make it to a softer consistency so if can be worked into cap and ball cylinders by hand. The lamb tallow keeps the lube shelf stable so it shouldn't go rancid just sitting on a shelf. The beeswax was from some 100% beeswax candles I got from a now defunct BC based bee farm. And the coconut oil was raided from my girlfriends pantry (don't tell her).
This lube can be used as is by hand or with a plastic butter-knife on muzzleloaders. Or remelted for pan lubing or poured directly into a lubri-sizer reservoir and left to harden, or used on unlubed wads or patches and left to dry. I can cast these into lubri-sizer sticks upon request if need be.
This bullet lube will also work for smokeless powder bullets too. Use of this lube will do 3 things.
Reduce leading in your barrel.
Keep fouling soft. Which makes loading and cleaning up after much easier.
And in many cases improve accuracy.
The lube comes in a resealable container in one of 3 sizes. The prices are $5, $15 and $20 respectively. The larger containers are a better value.
The lube is located in SW Calgary and can be picked up anytime. I am also happy to ship nationwide at buyer's expense. Shipping within my region will cost $13-15, and nationwide elsewhere is $17.84 flat rate.
