Mini's are still new territory for this old timer. Trying to get my mini's to load easier and cleaner. (no lard or grease) Has anyone tried to patch a mini ball? The .580s I use in my Zouave shoot well and load very easy, too easy. I am concerned that the mini might slide away from the powder if I should forget and point the muzzle down while aiming at the target. Would a .010 patch be worth a try? .585 minis are a real chore to start once the barrel is dirty, let alone ram home. I realize the skirt needs to flair, but think a thin patch would not restrict that . Any experience in this area would be appreciated.
