Hey Chris-

No, haven't shot a BP match for quite a few years. Still shooting LR, just different guns that make smaller holes, but same game sort of. Haven't sold off any of my BP stuff just yet. I'm waiting for the next Quigley movie and the resurgence of Buffalo gun shooting. Then I'll sell off everything and have enough to retire.

Some really nasty conditions out on the high plains today, I'll tell ya. 25 mph sustained with gusts to 40 or a little more and drier than a popcorn fart. Spent the day working on the range at Byers and between the tumbleweeds and sand in the air it was brutal. You'd have had a hard time controlling fouling no matter what secret sauce you were using.

And Huey's wrong. We didn't have no stinkin' M-pro 7 when I was a youngster. We had blow tubes and we liked it. You'd blow through that tube until you were dizzy, then try to catch your breath and get off another shot before the fouling in your barrel turned to concrete. And if you didn't get it off fast enough and the boolit went in the dirt in front of the target you'd blow harder and by god that's just the way it was. We didn't need no stinking wiping crap. It was a reals mans game. Now it's all bore pigs and fancy expensive wiping concoctions. I bet the sissy ass BP shooters now are using plastic wiping rods.

It seems pretty rare that there aren't nasty conditions on the high plains . I think I've only shot at Byers 4 times, but mostly I remember hurricane force winds with the exception of one friendly day. It's a good place to learn about wind that's for sure.

If you wan to retire, keep the BP stuff and start selling that top secret "possum innards" lube. A lube that doesn't need Mpro-7 would be worth a fortune

I just checked Lyman’s site they say Butch’s protects against corrosion. Wonder if that brown stuff isn’t more carbon?
