Really??? Were you using real hard home cast balls? I have 1858 New Army Remington’s and I’ve shot them without lubing over the balls.

BTW, Crisco IS a great idea for the lube, and way cheaper than the commercial I bet. Wonder how it does in the heat?

Kind of a gooey mess, which is why I mix it 50/50 with beeswax and then use an empty .45 Colt case to cut out the cooled mixture and use than as wads over the lead balls.
