DAISY PATCHES FROM OCTOBER COUNTRY

[James Kopp]

Hi all..I saw these on the October country website and was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with these patches. Love to hear from anyone with experiences here....

They work just as good as square patches

They work just as good as square patches

And round ones, and cut at the muzzle ones...

Gimmick ,some guy raided his wifes sewing kit.

An answer without a question.

I use both round patches that I lube and cut using cutters that I made and I also use strips of material that I lube and keep in plastic medicine containers.

 

[deermanok]

Never tried them.

Try them, you’re a daisy if you do.

I don’t shoot PRB much preferring ACW period firearms and Minié balls. But when I do shoot my Hawken clone or Mowrey Allen & Thurber I use these patches. They have served me well enough that I see no reason to use anything else.

 

[Buff1958]

i use them in several different rifles and have had good luck with them. I like the pillow ticking ones

 

[Urban Coyote]

Just like little flowers. Heck, I should have sent some of those to my wife for Valentines Day, I could have used them after a week or so instead of dumping those expensive real flowers in the trash.

 

[The Miner '49er]

I've heard that the three and four lobed green ones are much luckier, especially when shooting on March 17th.

They look like something a gay mountain man would use!

Here ya go be festive at your next shoot.

I heard that Doc Holliday used those in his front stuffing double barrelled scattergun.

the bevel bros. reviewed them in the same article where they compared cut at the muzzle and precut and found no significant difference in accuracy

Gimmick. I cut at the muzzle or more recently cut it straps with a slit so I can tear off the patch. I got that idea Watchung maniac black powder shooter YouTube channel.

I’ve used them exclusively. Mostly because of the Bear Grease Lube. I prefer tight patching but to my dismay October country can not supply 0.020 thickness right now. Their supply of 0.020 material is not available, according to the company and they have not found a suitable replacement. So it’s to 0.018 for me. I have used the softer cotton in 0.015 (not red pillow ticking) but have experienced blown patches. That material size is soft.

All in all the daisy patches are better than wonder lube patches. And I believe it is primarily because of the lube.

I use them in my 50 cal. when shooting patched round balls. I use the pillow ticking and seem to do the job.

How come you know so much about what’s in a gay mountain man’s shooting purse?….
