Good to hear. If I ever tire of using Javelina (yes, I'm one of those old silverbacks) I'll try it (but first I gotta use up the 30-40 sticks I have). I just wish one could still get it.
I experimented with a lot of lubes over the years, and dabbled in making my own. I always came back to Javelina. Is it the very best? No. Will a bunch of other lubes/coatings work "better"? Undoubtedly. Do I like it nonetheless? Yes. It is a consistent performer in all my applications, I learned long ago to put up with its foibles, I don't mind a little mess at the end of the day, and the smell of the stuff (both in the raw state and while shooting) is a powerful stimulant for triggering memories of handloading in my Dad's basement, which along with the smell of Hoppe's #9 is a portal to my youth.
