I never use any kind of patch in my rifled musket. I use a minie' ball(53 Enfield). It doesn't require a patch. Next questin I have is how many of you really go out and fire/hunt in extreme weather? Right now as I type this it is -10F out side with a windchill in the -20's . Am I going outside to shoot--No way, no how. I will do like they did. Huncker down till the weather gets better. Eat jerked meat and pemican. How many of us really (come on admit it) go outside in a driving rain and hunt. Sure I go out in a drizzle, or a mild snow. How I cover my nipple/ cone, is I leave the last fired cap on or I use the nipple protector that came with my 53 Enfield.
They didn't go out hunting and firing their weapons in incliment weather unless they needed to.
The best way to keep it from freezing is to- Stay at home and be on the Muzzle loading forum like I am. It's to damn cold to go out unless I have to. Opps I got to go feed and water the goats, and sheep. :haha:
