I tried this a couple years ago n just made some more I use it for my round ball patches n Lee r.e.a.l bullets works really good not using any other lube. Thanks for the video..

Coconut oil has a 3 year self life vs  1 year for olive oil, and has corrosion resistant properties.

I tried this and it works very well.  I like how you can vary the thickness by changing the amount of beeswax.  I found a cedar essential oil and used it instead of wintergreen so it now has a woodsy smell to it.  Great instructional video!

I love the back ground sounds.

Try 7:1 (olive oil to bees wax) ratio for starters.  One important tip.. keep mixing until everything solidifies!  You get the micro crystal consistency like authentic bore butter.

You could probably duplicate the yellow color of borebutter by adding dyes used for candlemaking.  They are oil soluable,  come in both liquid and solid form, and are relatively inexpensive.   You could even amuse yourself by making your own custom colored bore butter.

Thanks for sharing your recipe.  Definitely going to give this a try.

Nice

I used some bear fat and rendered it with juniper branch for scent, some beeswax to set up the lube. Works great.

Theres something about looking up into the  greenwood to the sounds of cicadas that just whispers..." summer" ...in your ears. Takes me back to being  a boy in 1968.
I could put a hammock right there and take a nap!😂

Thanks for taking us along, really enjoyed your video. Can’t wait to try making my own.

I put our spearmint leaves in a jar of everclear alcohol to make tincture. A dribble into my mix works to give it a natural low land mint smell.

I make the same for dubbing wax used in fly tying and also with boiled linseed oil for rubbing on wooden rifle stocks

US: Hello. I am French and I live near Nice. I came across this video of the recipe for "own bore butter" I made it exactly the same and it is perfect! I was looking for a grease for my weapons and with this video, I found it. Bravo and thank you

Awesome! Going to have to try that. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this! TC Bore Butter is getting hard to find and I was worried about finding a good alternative. Thanks to your video I can now make my own.

Very nice I will be making some of this for this year's late season elk hunt hear in oregon.

Steamed shrimp and grits for breakfast?  Not knocking It, just never thought about having that for breakfast lol.

I guess i'm gonna have to try it out.

I use similar recipes. Lambs tallow and beef tallow work great.   I watched vid earlier,  definitely needs be tried.  50%/ 50% water and Dawn dish soap. Absolutely impressive!!  Over dozen shots from Kibler S.M.R.,  run a patch, i kid you not, it was cleaner than 99% of patches aftet 1 or 2 shots!!  Truly amazing. Granted, not traditional,  but im also into what works best.  I do leathercraft.. had some thin veg- tan goat leather.   Soaked them in the 50/ 50 Dawn and water  , using this in Gemmer Hawken  and Kibler Woodsrunner.. results were very  good.  Better than my ticking patches. Just something someone may want to fiddle with.  Thanks for sharing!!  Great vid.  Your recipe, minus the essential oil, is also great for leathercraft braiding. A necessary thing when braiding.

When I use the tube of bore butter in winter I mix extra olive oil to it to thin it out so I can use it. In tube during cols weather it won't come out of tube-to thick

Nice! Ty
