Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Battle of the Wet Lubes

I ordered a couple more wet patch lubes. One is the Birchwood Casey No.77 Muzzle Magic Cleaner in a 16oz bottle. The other is from Track of the wolf and is called Black Powder Bore cleaning solvent and comes in an 8oz bottle.


Using my .58cal CVA Hawken at 50 yards resting the rifle on the fence as a rest, I loaded up 90gr Goex 2f, .020" patches and .570" round balls. First up was the Muzzle Magic Cleaner which is Water soluble. Patches were soaked in it over night and yes, the tin that it was in, produced rust over that short of time, so it is a Range lube only.

5 shot groups

Muzzle Magic Cleaner - Loaded smooth and easy like a freshly cleaned bore on ALL 5 shots.


Next is the Track of the wolf black powder bore cleaning solvent. On #3 I noticed some sticky fouling causing the patch to get hard and then go down easy and get caught up again.
