I've found that tight patches don't always give good results myself, but maybe it's my shooting eye and steady (marginally) hand too. Some days the shooting magic works, some days it falls on its butt and has a hard time getting back up. :rotf:

I don't know....You missed the red circle.... :shocked2:
Take a ruler and measure from the center of the red circle to the outer edge of your farthest bullet hole......Then double that number, that is your group size. (hunting accuracy)
Looks like about 7.5 inches to me.

I was working up my load and hadn't started sighting in yet. Just referring to the size of the group. She's all better now... That's what I was working on when I snapped my ram rod yesterday.

Are you saying you can't cut a patch at the muzzle with out cutting a finger or two?

Don't miss the first shot, you don't need to shoot on the move!

Yeah, it's not a problem. I can even chew gum and comb my hair at the same time,Colorado Clyde said:Can you "cut at the muzzle" guys reload on the move?
meanmike said:What is the distance?
Michael
meanmike said:Thanks, keep working. You will get there. If you need to shoot a loose combo try different material, they are not all equal.

,but I do understand if that's hard for ya, then cut at the muzzle and the inherent accuracy provided by that may be difficult for some.
(it's about eliminating a variable)
Clydey,, if your cutting yourself while working with fabric, a sharp knife and a simple rifle all in your hands as you stand still,, then stay with precuts.
Cut at the muzzle is not for everybody. :idunno:
