You could do the same with moose milk.

Thats what I use but I make my own. Many years ago I bought a gallon of water soluable oil from the tool store. Its what we used in my dads machine shop and every other machine shop I ever visited. This gallon will make 12-14 gallons the way I mix it.
I cut my patches square from pillow ticking. I will put about 20 or so patches in one of the round snuff/chewing tobacco containers and soak the patches with the oil. Then I can shoot all the shots I want to shoot. Doing it this way I guess I could shoot a hundred shots in a row and never stop to wipe out the barrel. The wet patch pushes the fouling from the previous shot back down the barrel. I have been doing it this way for over twenty years so I know it works.
If using a charge that is over 75grs I will use one patch started down the barrel then the patched ball on top of that. This protects the patch on the ball so well that you could reuse the ball patch if you wanted to.
I also use this same patch lube to clean my gun after shooting it. I haven't took off a barrel and sucked water through it in 20 years. And I have never had a single spec of rust in my bores. Some will tell this doesn't work but I am the proof that it does work.
