I've read here that you can tell a lot about what's going on with your gun by looking at your fired patches. I recovered a bunch after shooting yesterday. The patching is 100% white cotton, I measured it .014 with a micrometer purchased from Joann Fabrics. Its drylubed with a 7:1 mix of Ballistol and water, all cut at the muzzle. The load was 80gr 2f Swiss powder with a .495 lead ball.
I cant "read" patches, maybe some of you can. What do these tell you? The top and bottom 5 would be the side the ball sat on, the middle 5 would be up against the powder charge. Thx.
