I serched lube but all that I found was for sizing cases. What I am asking about is what is the preferred lube for the hinge pin on a double rifle. for relatively clean I have found RIG or even RCBS case lube provides sufficient lubrication for the pivot, but I am concerned that either might be quite an attractant to dust and dirt, which are common on most Africa hunts. What is suggested fofr use in those locations?
 
I use this on my shotguns, but Jeff's look to both be out of stock and shutting down shop. One of these little tubs seems to last forever, perhaps there is another source?

I reckon any Teflon based grease will do the job perfectly well. You needn't fuss about anyone’s secret recipe. Any grease is of course going to get dust stuck on it. If that’s a worry of major concern clean it off every evening over a beer, whiskey and a cigar and reapply fresh grease.
 
Ken Owen’s grease all I use on all doubles.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
