An old subject I’m sure and I did not do a search.

I just finished my first match season of shooting using my new CPA chambered in .38-55. The barrel is 1:12 twist, bullets weigh 
345-grains, powder is either IMR 4227 or SR4759, and I breach seat.

The only lube I’ve used so far is SPG. However, in reading old books about the Scheutzen era, there is a lot of data on different lubes, most being homemade.

I’m not a scientist, so mixing and melting various ingredients is something not in the mix (pardon the pun).

My question….is there a commercial lube that I should look at besides SPG.

Thanks!

I know a lot of friends who have used SPG for many years and still do. They tell me it works great. I mix up my own formula that has alox as part of my blend.

I've been using Javelina for a couple years now. Works good. Smells bad. My supply is low so switched to one of my own lubes which I like better.

Many lubes work okay, but it all depends on what you want to accomplish. 

If you're looking for bench rest competitive accuracy they're not all up to the task.

JSL is, without a doubt.

I don't know about that Joe.

For me l'odeur de JSL is an intoxicating smell. Much sexier than SPG.
