I have a lot of admiration for all of the work that went into trying to find one lube to rule them all, and I continue to learn a lot from all of the continued work testing and refining lubes. It recently occurred to me, however that the only times I REALLY need a lube to perform with great precision is when I'm hunting. I can easily change lubes to accommodate August heat or whatever if I'm just going to the range, and I can load up batches of handgun ammo with something 'close enough'.
Hunting applications are where I need consistent first shot cold barrel performance, and the only thing I hunt these days are whitetails. Deer season in KY is three weeks in November, ending on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I have seen it as warm as high 50's and as low as 17, but the days of me venturing out in weather in the teens ended a few years ago. What I really need for my hunting ammo is a lube that performs at its best from around 20-45 degrees.
Any suggestions as to what would be the best lube choices specifically for that temperature range?
