Bore cleaner between shots

[Don McDowell]

Just curious, what are the paper patch people using on there bore pigs between shots?

I use the Napa oil and water 7-1

I'm experimenting with my own mix for muzzle loading patches and bore pigs for cartridge guns . 50/50 water , Isoprophil alcohol and half a teaspoon of liquid dish soap in an 8 ounce jar. I'll post back if it works or is a dead end. I've always felt that the three ingredients in the right proportions should be excellent as all three desolve black powder fouling.

Distilled water ( as Brent would say-DiHydrogenOxide) for loose patches or for bore critters.
Except below freezing when my water bottle froze up , Then I use RV antifreeze. IsoHEET should work also in cold weather.

For years, I was using a mix of 1/4 Roundup weed killer, 1/4 Black Mamba venom, 1/4 battery acid all diluted with 1/4 Chernobyl cooling water but my Oncologist recommended that I switch to water and dish soap !

10-1 water/oil and bore pigs in my 45-100. Any more oil and I get weird stuff happening with my paper patch bullets.

I just decided to go from 7:1 to 10:1 with NAPA. We'll see how it works out.

Mpro 7 and BACO bore wipes.

Before that 1-7 Napa cutting oil and distilled water for years. Won 6 scope titles in Target rifle was 2nd overall at the 1000 yard BPTRA championship last September. Paper patched 3 wet 2 dry, never a problem with the oil and allergies.

Little twisted humor this early morning.'
One time in one of these wiping solution discussions, someone mentioned that NAPA oil and water could go a bit rancid and smell bad. My thoughts went to , you're talking about a bunch of mostly old men laying out in the sun for 2 days shooting blackpowder, and eating all the barbecue,beans, mexican and pizza they can lay hands on and drinking beer, and you're worried about the wiping solution smelling bad.

You speak from experience?
