It eliminates the air space and it takes many many shots before it is melted away. what does melt with each shot keeps the breach block lubricated and sliding easily for a long time. The minimising the air space seams to help with accuracy a bit.

This is a very old thread, but your method is one I discovered as well, and it's pretty much all I do now. In fact, since I started doing this, I have never had a shooting session interrupted for block cleaning. Not once. Quite simply, I run out of ammunition before I do any cleaning at all. I'm using the DGL lube, but it's the same concept. I think that, based on its consistency, though, the SPG might work a bit better.

How do I lubricate my blocks?

Eezox. Thin coating dries to the metal. Example of lubrication ... I can cock the finger levers on my '92 Winchesters with my little finger - honest truth!

Perhaps I'm being simplistic. Among the manufacturing staff at Shiloh who shoot their 1863s, what are the preferences? Better but unlikely, what is their collective preference?
