Any body out there ever get a chance to experiment with sperm whale oil as a bullet lube additive? or know any one who has?
If so would yoube so kind as to share the results?
This has spiked my interest. My dad have a small bottle that was probably 60 or 70 years old but it was not enough to do anything with. The recipe called for a 1:2 mix of BW : SWO !!! I am thinking that sounds really soft and kinda pricy in the current whale oil market here in Montana.[i] (cant even get a fishing license for them up here for making yer own whale oil)[/i]
By what I have read and researched I think my lube may be performing very much like the whale oil mix mentioned above

I can't be 100% sure however since I can't afford the whale oil to try it out.[i] (given that I could even find it) [/i]I did find some stuff that is supposed to be almost identical but it is several $100's per gallon (3-400 apparently)

Thanks guys !
