But now I do wonder what lube with peanut butter would smell like when fired. I may just try some on a bp patch to see. I wonder if the crunchy would work on a pan lube boolit as lapping compound.
No bs I am gonna try some before the summer is up.

Jeff, sounds like fun. (some are way too serious here) I'd buy fresh ground creamy peanut butter at the health food store to stay away from the sugars that delsmarkid1 spoke of. From my research I see the natural contained sugar amount is around 8% and water content is only about 1-2%; I'd add a few drops of water to a Tablespoon of peanut butter, mix it up some and apply that for bp patches.
Those looking under the title of this post looking for more bullet lube purpose could use what I go to for reference information from the NRA publications. Past issues of American Rifleman of Feburary 1958 and July 1965 have articles by Col. E. H. Harrison. The articles are also reprinted in NRA's 1979 publication of a collection of American Rifleman articles all about cast bullets, called CAST BULLETS compiled by Col. E. H. Harrison. Then again, Col. E. H. Harrison might be one of those who spread opinions and unsupported theories.
JeffinNZ, I too enjoy Glen's infomative Los Angeles Silhouette Clubs' webpage, a lot of good info there. There is also some good indepth info going on over at castboolit forum about cast bullet lube. Not sure if any of them are using actual controled experimentation though?................Dan
