I was of the understanding that if you load with the patches diagonal it will cause the ball to curve either right or left and up and down depending on which way the diagonal runs. :grin:

Yes, that's true for smoothbores, that's why most smoothbore shooters use tow. The affect is counteracted by the spin created by rifling in rifles. :wink:

:hmm: when you wash yer ticking before cutting into strips or patches do you use Downey? We are encouraged to use soft lead...perhaps soft(er) patches is what we have all been searching for :idunno: You heard it here first....will give her a whirl and report.

Well, if you want them to load easy, use Arm & Hammer laundry detergent. :grin:
