I just went and bought 3 more yards of 100% cotton pillow ticking. im going to cut in strips to use in my .50,.54 and .58 calibers how wide do I make the strips? does it vary by caliber. most commercial patches I buy say .50 to .59 caliber, another question. do I cut along the stripes or against them? im wanting to lube them as I tried a few spt patches today and the spit patch route just is not for me, minds well have stuffed a cotton ball in my mouth. I was toying with the idea of some pam on the ticking possibly olive oil. looked at TOW and they have commercial lightly oiled patches. I wonder what they are oiling with/ ive got a lot of bore butter I bought on clearance. so far the reaction hasn't been real positive on using it. I know what ever I come up with for patch lube it will have to be done lightly
