I've had my new .50 Great Plains Rifle to the range 3 times now, and it's shooting great ”” better than I could have hoped for ”” right out of the box. Been collecting spent patches and everything looks just as it should after shooting Olde Eynsford 55 grains, using Ox-Yoke .015 pre-lubed patches with a .490 Hornady ball. However, on the third trip to the range, I found one patch that was torn in two places. Should I be worried, or was it just a weak patch and the fact I haven't shot the GPR enough to break it in? I'm not getting any torn patches while cleaning. Going to shoot with .015 Eastern Maine Shooting Supply tough linen patches and .018 mattress ticking patches today at the range, with TOW mink oil. No pre-lubed patches today. Made me wonder about the pre-lubed patches though, even though my targets have been really accurate while getting used to the rifle and sights on the bench.
