    round ball patches

    After you dab some lube on your strips, fold them over, place them in an plastic bag and put them in the micro-wave for 15 to 20 seconds. I use bear grease and bees-wax in both my smooth bores and rifles. Shoot straight :thumbsup: Firelock

    UPDATE: Patches by Muzzleloader Originals

    :applause: Roundball, what a find, where can I get these in the Northeast, common shopping spots Kittery Trading post, Cabela's, Log cabin Shop and local gun shops. Have never seen them in this neck of the woods. Of course Ox-Yoke and T/C are almost local to Vermont. :thumbsup: Flintlock

    :thumbsup: I have a Pedersoli flinter pistol in 50cal and love it :applause: I find it to be very accurate and very well made right out of the box. As you mentioned it is stout and easy on flints, I find my trigger pull around 4 lbs. Hope you get to make a lot of smoke with it :v Firelock
