No, it ain't for me 
An acquaintance who wishes to dabble in the Dark Side went looking for a Sub (APP) and some All Knowing Nitwit in a big box store sole him a couple pounds of 777 as it was "the same stuff."
Any you guys out there shooting 777 inna .38?? Gotta pet load to start with??
Most forgot: Howz about 12Ga for a light CAS load??

« Last post by Coffinmaker on Today at 09:53:32 AM » Yea, well Ballistol no longer contains Wale Oil. Its makeup is primarily Mineral Oil, some acidic stuff, alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide. No water. The stuff STINKS to high heaven.For clean-up of Black Powder and Subs, I am a champion of PAM. Equal parts of Hydrogen Peroxide, Denatured Alcohol and Murphy Oil Soap. Works a treat. Cleans quite well. However, after cleaning I do apply Mobil 1 motor oil to lubricate and prevent rust.
For clean-up of Smokeless Powder, CLP. I have found nothing better than CLP. I happen to like "Break Free." As done with BP and Subs, after cleaning I apply Mobil 1 Motor oil to lubricate and prevent rust.

Do not use it for nickeled guns, it will eat the copper base of the plating, and the nickel will peel off.
I do however, like the distinctive smell

Developed in 1904, it had whale oil as an ingredient, I don't think it does anymore.
In the ensuing 120 years, many more modern products have been developed, but Ballistol is still around.

It literally takes my breath away, so if I'm using it indoors I MUST have a fan blowing. And it also leaves your skin soft.
YES!! I agree 100% with having a fan blowing.
