Claims8
A bullet lubricating composition which comprises an admixture of petroleum and silicone oil metallic soap greases and molybdenum disulfide combined with graphite and a wax base consisting essentially of beesax wherein within the admixture molybdenum disulfide is present in an amount of more than about 5 wt. % and less than about 24 wt. %, mineral oil is present in an amount of more than about 10wt. % and less than about 32 wt. %, silicone oil is present in an amount more than about 13 wt. % and less than about 31 wt. %, and metallic soap grease is present in an amount more than about 34 wt. % and less than about 61 wt. %;
- and wherein on a volumetric basis beewax is present in an amount between about 55% and 89% of the total composition.
A method of compounding a bullet lubricant comprising blending an admixture of petroleum and silicone oil metalic soap greases and molybdenum disulfice at a temperature of 350.degree. F.-400.degree. F. for several minutes, wherein within the admixture molybdenum disulfide is provided in an amount of more than about 5 wt. % and less than about 24 wt. %, mineral oil is provided in an amount of more than about 10 wt. % and less than about 32 wt. %, silicon oil is present in an amount of more than about 13 wt. % and less than about 31 wt. % and metalic soap grease is provided in an amount more than about 34 wt. % and less than about 61 wt. % to make up the admixture;
- reducing the temperature of the admixture to 150.degree. F.-350.degree. F.;
- and then blending graphite and a wax base consisting essentially of beeswax for several minutes into the admixture to produce the final composition wherein on a volumeteric basis beeswax is present in an amount between about 55% and 89% of the total composition.
