Hello everyobe. I have been thinking about getting an 1841 Mississippi rifle repro in .54 caliber. From my research, it seems these were loaded with a ball where the lubricated patch was attached to it by means of sewing.
This is quite curious to me. I've never heard of this before. Has anyone e ever tried to attach the patch to the ball in this way or a different way? It seems to have been done to make loading faster since both are connected, but I have no idea what it would do for accuracy.any thought on this?
Thanks!
