Lubed patches with Frontier's anti rust & patch lube. 2fg gearhart owen black powder. Loaded for 10 days and many hours of hiking in the field. Hardly any powder stuck/embedded in the lubed patch! Note the black ring around the patch. Thats the black powder dust the patch picked up during the loading process.
Was a bust! We expected it though! Unit 85 in Colorado is 75% private property and what you do get to hunt is very poor for holding elk. We had a great time, made the most of it and discovered a few new cool places to hike.
Panning for gold. No elk, No Gold either!
This is not a complete list as I left out big chain stores like Cabelas, Basspro, simply due to the fact that they mostly carry modern inline supplied and very little traditional gear and supplies. This is a personal list that I use often when I need something.
