Not a bad idea to tape em up if you're going into the thick stuff, saves having to worry about getting something stuck in the barrel and the obvious probs that come from doing so.

I'll bet ya ol mate tapes his barrels up after that little "Check ya shorts episode"! :D

Always tape the end of my barrel in the bush along with about 8 inches of cotton as a wind indicator. Deer hunters in vic have done it for years. During ww2 they used condoms. Bloody waste of a good condom if u ask me. :lol:
Tape has no real effect on point of impact, the air in front of the proj blows a hole in it.

Was considering a change of signature last night and pasted my rifle list into the box and clicked the save button. I got the error about there being a 255 character limit so I just copied and pasted that.

For the record I swap hands every 20 cases so the forearms don't get over worked :)

Vaseline has fairly poor lubrication qualities. Normal grease would be far better. Any lubrication oil would be ok, including singer with a viscosity of perhaps 10 up to 90 gear box oil. But 90 might freeze up in the alpine regions.

Vaseline is a little too clear for me, I like my grease the same colour as my condoms....Black so it looks bigger and we all know that bigger is better so black grease has to be the best :)

Graphite grease is known for its ability to lubricate in hot situations.
