    patches after shooting

    After 44 yrs I never question the wife, if she sez that was 100% cotton, it is. I guess my question was, why no problem with the patch and lube I'm using in the flint? :: I will try a thicker patch and see what happens. Thanks for the info. :thumbsup: rex (westcoastBPgramps) BP shooting is fun
