Thats the first I've heard off it, I pretty much use FP-10 on everything. Hasnt dissapointed me yet and has a pleasant cinnamon smell so the wife doesnt complain about me using it in the house 
No experience with that stuff, but I use Hoppes and Mpro 7, both of which I really like.
Lately though, I’ve been using just straight motor oil. A quart is pretty cheap and lasts forever, and can be bought with all the same cleaning compounds in it. I just pour it in a smaller bottle for a more surgical application.

Don't fall for the "Lube of he month" club...
I've used the same quart of Mobil 1 for the last few years... in my Bolt guns and AR's....

An old man I hunted with (R.I.P.) called it “shooting oil”. But, lube works too.
I thought this was a sexual thread. Wrong forum. Isn't this Maggie's?
On a serious note, I haven't any experience with shooters lube. For years used FP10, with trying out all the new latest and greatest in between. I do quite a bit of shooting, so I used a lot of oil over the years. Most of the gun lubes, oils and cleaners are quite pricey. Read a few years back about shooters using Mobil 1, gave it a try and have been using it for rifles, shotguns and pistols for the last 4 or 5 years. It's not scientific, but if I clean and lube the firearm properly, I see no difference using Mobil 1 verses all the other pricey gun oils I've used. I still use Shooters Choice and the old standby Hoppes for initial cleaning.

EeZox and CLP for me. No issues here. Curious find though
SnakeOil.....as is most all "gun specific" lubrications and cleaners.
motor oil. end of story.
"shooting lubricant" one of the most bullshit scams in all of the shooting industry. On par with the bs when playing a game of "just the tip"
More practice is needed on how to properly lubricate firearms, as opposed to the type of lubricant.

Motor oil for years with great results
