What You Should Know About Bullet Lubricants for the Black Powder Cartridge Rifle by Paul A. Matthews

For about 150 years, black-powder shooters around the world have been making and using untold numbers of concoctions, adding this or adding that with the hope it will give them what they want in a bullet lubricant. I have done it myself for more than 60 years and will probably continue the practice for as long as I am able. Yet somewhere at sometime during the past few years, I have learned that when it comes to a bullet lubricant to be used in a black powder cartridge rifle, there are some oils and waxes that are always better than others due to their inherent characteristics.

This book is 96 pages and contains the following chapters: Characteristics of a Good Bullet Lubricant for the BPCR, How to Determine the Melting Point, The Choice Components, How to Render Fat into Tallow, Equipment for Making Bullet Lubricants, How to Saponify a Bullet Lubricant, My Two Best Black Powder Bullet Lubricants, Linseed Oil?
