John,

   Paul called it alox. It is a carmel color and has a very unique smell to it. I actually like the smell. I have another 1 pound stick on the way from Paul and I will ask him.

                                    thanks, Sendaro 

mine is 50/50 with beeswax; old NRA formula.  Just started using it last year.  Need to shoot it more to wring it out

"Why are people adding lanolin to their lubes?"

Because Mil Farrow, Ned Roberts or one of those guys said it is good to add a little

Taurak is/was good stuff. I used it in the 80s as a lube wad for black powder and Pyrodex (CTG) loads with paper patched bullets and could get off 12-15 accurate shots with NO wiping between shots. It was originally made by TEXACO for a railroad application, I don't know what. They quit manufacturing it some years ago. 
It worked great in my original Sharps heavy sporting rifle in 45-2 7/8 with a slightly tapered slug (slick) that, patched, was a coupl'a thou under bore diameter. It also worked just as well in a Shiloh action (first year of production, high half-cock) that I re-barreled in 45-2 7/8 and re-stocked back in the early 80s.
Too bad TAURAK it is no longer available.
After shooting 12-15 shots, I cleaned with a wet patch and fouling came out like a slimy black loogie. Next wet patch was gray, and third was clean. I loved TAURAK. Thought it was the best lube ever for paper patched bullets. I mourned its passing.

I found this, over on the CBA site. It was put together by Ralph Schneider and Steve Hurst.

It seems to be a excellent, compulation of bullet lubes, with many formula's, for them, including many that we use.

Do believe it would make a fine lube for 22 bullets.

Hi all,
recently I witnessed a new Pedersoli Gibbs M/L being shot for the first time.
A relatively inexperienced shooter who had never owned a BP Rifle before.

I watched him load and shoot off 20 bullets using straight BP, all of which hit the target in nice groups as he adjusted the sights to the 10 ring. 

When he eventually stopped, I showed my extreme envy as to how well it shot straight out of the box. Without cleaning it once. !!

He said he didn't know you were supposed to clean it. 

The lube he was using came with the rifle. Pedersoli BP Lube. A dark blue lube.
I have never seen it here in Australia before, and can't find it. 

Does anyone know of it in the States. Probably expensive.
