Just a thought - I couldn't find any Gulfwax parrafin at first, so I bought a hundred "tealight" candles for about 4 bucks at Wally World. The wax in them appears to be parrafin, but it's a LOT softer than the Gulfwax parrafin I found later, almost like it has pre-added tallow. So, the Gulfwax is sitting on a shelf, and I'm running through the tealights for lube instead.

Great video! I’ve used this exact lube recipe and method and it did virtually nothing to keep down fouling. The bore fouled out with one cylinder. Although not period correct, a felt wad under the wad liberally lubed works tremendously better. These can be used in paper cartridges by placing a very thin cardboard disc between the wad and powder.

I've been using a softened paraffin wax for a while now with my muzzle loading rifle cartridges, and it works well, cheap too. Good to see I'm not the only one who thinks/though it was a good idea. On rifle bullets, the paper holds enough lube, but on revolver bullets, I'm thinking that you might have to pan-lube them with straight wax (or just barely softened) before assembling the cartridge (in order to fill the grooves), then dip in soft wax for an overcoat/temper the hard wax a smidge.

Like the Reb uniform there!

Dear Friends: The Eras Gone bullet is a good one and can be used as basis for a functional and authentic cartridge. Having said all that, it is just about useless for shooting matches with several stages unless the shooter is willing and able to give a good wet cleaning between stages, that bullet just doesn't cary enough lube to lube the bore or the Arbor/cylinder contact area to allow it to be used for an entire match. I got that combination to work by carrying a SMALL squirt bottle of 10 to one water Ballistol mix that gets squirted on that cylinder/arbor joint and down the bore, it takes some learning on just how much can be used before the wetness causes misfires. Your Eras Gone bullet shoots quite well as long as the fouling is kept soft, something that is unnecessary with the Big Lube Bullets. One has the choice of being out of Historical Costume and using Big Lube Bullets, or being historically inaccurate by carrying the Ballistol and Water mix while using the historically accurate Eras Gone bullet. I haven't tried pressing a grease wad over the loaded chamber mouths yet, but the lube is stiff enough from the Bees Wax that it might be unfeasible to try wiping a small amount from a stick of lube onto the chamber mouth, it is definitely too soft to be handled on the line in discs. The Ballistol and Water mix that I use for cleaning works best for me if I am using the Eras Gone Bullet. So far I haven't bought a mold, I am borrowing a fellow shooter's to conduct trials. It is an EXCELLENT bullet, but not for matches, unless an extensive wet cleaning is done between stages. All of us try to keep close as we can to historical accurate and customary equipment, but it seems impossible using a historically accurate bullet, I wonder what Civil War Soldiers used to keep their revolvers running during battle? Perhaps the revolver was seldom used as the principal weapon, getting used only when the battlefield became crowded and the usual rifles and carbines were not easily used. Cap and Ball and muzzleloading shoulder arms were plagued by Black Powder fouling, then and now. The Henry and Spencer cartridge arms suffered from this malady also, but to a lesser degree with their self contained cartridges with a better lube supply. It seems that fouling from Black Powder was so commonplace that it was an expected problem and got little mention in reports, it would be good to know what conditions existed back then.

Revolvers were mainly issued to cavalry, which used them while closing distance and then switched to the sabre. Most people carried more than one revolver. Quantrill Riders and other skirmishers, that fought on foot as well and did a different kind of warfare, often carried as much as 4-5 revolvers. Two on the saddle holsers, two on the belt and 1-2 pocket revolvers tucked in the waistband and overcoat pockets. When one ran empty, they simply switched to a loaded one. Pocket revolvers were also extremely popular among infantry officers. Again, usually more than one revolver was carried. This because mostly there wasn't just enough time to reload during battle, and because carrying multiple revolvers was also good insurance against malfunctions such as a gun locking up due to a cap fragment into the mechanism. So they didn't have to fire more than one cylinder out of any given revolver. Maybe two if there was a lull in the action allowing to reload. Remember that we see this from the opposite perspective, as people in the "wondernine" era, while that people came form a recent era of single shot percussion pistols where to have more than one shot you had to carry more than one pistol, and a brace of pocket pistols (i.e.: two shots) was all that one had before having to switch to melee weapons. Revolvers were a huge improvement, so having 6 shots at your disposal was wonderful, and people considered matter of fact to carry more than one pistol. There was nothing unusual in it: it was just how you always did it. It was "You want more than one shot? Carry more than one pistol" and now it was "you want more than six shots? Carry more than one pistol".

What about a can of Crisco and some paraffin. I just made some this morning to dip my 36 Cal. paper cartridges.

Get yourself a little USB-powered coffee mug warmer. That way, you can keep the lube warm w/o resorting to open flame (ignition source; why risk a grease fire if you don't have to?) Yes, it's not period correct, but neither is watching your YT vid on the process! ;-) Instead of a coffee mug, you can use a little ramikin like what restaurants will serve sauces in.

Hmmm....i have heard it said that parafin(at least modern parafin) is petroleum based and therefore should not be used with black powder and only non-petroleum based greases like lard, tallow, other animal fat or vegetable-based grease or oils like Crisco or Olive oil should be used along with Bees Wax. The main reason being that petroleum based products make fouling worse because of the residue created when burned. If traditional parafin was different from modern parrafin perhaps that made a difference?? Can you expound on that?? As for me, im sticking with Bees wax, lard and Olive oil...have no issues other than ridiculous prices for Bees wax.

Round ball cartridges were not lubed. They were also cast much smaller than bore size to allow for easier loading. For example, .69 caliber weapons were normally loaded with a .64 or .65 caliber ball. You loaded in the paper until it was too fouled to load, and then you loaded the ball naked and kept shooting until it choked. Smooth bore guns are dirtiest guns to shoot unless you shoot a tight ball and lubed patch.

I live in Ohio, while we don't have as many days of 100+ weather, we still get it; plus we have several months at or below freezing; so making a bullet lube that works in all weather here is a challenge. I use a Paraffin-crisco mixture (8:2 as I recall), but I add 2TBS of Diesel winter treatment (keeps diesel from gelling up in cold weather) per lb of paraffin. that makes a lube that is hard enough to hold up in the summer (it's tacky, but doesn't smear unless you mean to smear it), but doesn't get brittle in the winter.

How do I lube non-combustible cartridges?

@Th3Sabator45

With just the bullets, put the bullets in a pan and pour the grease mix just a little about the grease groove. Pan lubing essentially

I understand you’re wanting to do it like they did in the old days, but it’s not necessarily the best way. More, softer lube (depending on weather) will help keep the powder fouling soft. Back in the day I don’t believe they’d be firing dozens and dozens of shots in a day like we often do, and so generous lubing would not have been such an issue. Doesn’t anyone know about Gatofeo anymore? I make Gatofeo #1 lube, and sometimes use plain old SPG. Either one is a good lube for moderate spring, summer and fall weather in the NW U.S. Your carts look very original, but for better range performance when shooting more than a few cylinders worth in a single session, I much prefer to include a lube cookie (card, lube pill, card) inside the cartridge between powder and bullet. This leaves some lube behind the bullet inside the bore to keep the powder fouling in the bore soft. When done right, the bore is no more folded after the 100th shot that it was after the first shot. I did extensive tests on this during the period of circa eight to fifteen years ago. Lube in the bullet grooves alone cannot accomplish this, unless, maybe, you’re using a bullet having super giant grease grooves but even then I don’t see as how much lube is going to squeeze bast the bullet’s base band and get left in the bore behind it where it can do the good that needs to be done in order to prevent a constant accumulation of fouling. Also, there has been some discussion of whether “paraffin” was cited in the old literature, or “paraffin wax”. It’s important to know which, because they assuredly are NOT the same thing. Paraffin is sold today as that “super refined” or “extra pure” (or other words to that effect) lamp oil, used in lieu of Kerosene, whereas paraffin wax is that hard canning wax, presumably made from liquid paraffin. Anyhow, Gatofeo #1 lube includes paraffin in the recipe, along with tallow and bee’s wax, but of course it’s a modern concoction based on Gatofeo’s interpretations of old literature. You can look up the recipe. Or rather you could, at one time. I don’t know if it’s still floating around, but I have it written down hereabouts. Such information on the web eventually dies with the person managing the server, or with his enthusiasm for paying the costs and putting in the time.
