    Like JUD - I too can shoot my Fayetteville all day long w/out having fouling issues, or to have to patch out the bore.

    Granted the lube has to be FRESH - I've found out the hard way, shooting lubed rounds older than 2 months - fouling became a problem after 8 - 10 rounds.

    You also need to factor in the correct sizing of your round - this is also very important!

    As for lube - JUD is dead on. Crisco is a key ingredient (from my personal experiences) in any successful bullet lube recipe. But again, once a round (ex. musket) is lubed and loaded, the exposed lube will harden over time and become "stale" - usually in two months or so. Sealed/cased ammunition (ex. Henry, Maynard, etc.) have a longer shelf life since the lubed portion of the projectile isn't exposed directly to the air.

    Bottom line - proper bullet sizing, and fresh, Crisco-heavy lube recipe.
