Patching material

I have shot at the Texas State ML match a number of times. The "Texas Patch", which is sail cloth coated on one side with Blue Teflon. The patch is lubed on the ball side with a small amount of water. These patches are very remarkable for improved accuracy. You must wipe the bore each time before loading. I buy this patch material from fellow in Wichita Falls.

Redwing,
Sure enough...stay here long enough, and you'll learn something new. I've used dry teflon patch material off and on over the years, but never heard anyone discuss wetting it.
What do you reckon wetting the ball side does..??
Have you ever fired side-by-side comparison groups...dry vs. damp..??
Thanks for the idea :hatsoff: ...now I have a whole other variable to mess with...!!!
