Don't forget to check on the condition of your patches after they have been fired.
The outer edges can be really tattered down to the point where the ball was touching the bore but the area where the ball touches the bore and the center area where the patch was against the back of the ball should not have any torn or burned thru areas.
I mention this because although roundball has had excellent luck with old TC pre lubed patches I've had the opposite.
Many of mine were little more than an assortment of threads after they were fired.
I attribute this to the lube breaking down the strength of the material over the course of the years they sit on the shelf.
(Freshly lubed patches of similar material, shot in the same guns have never produced this patch condition for me.)
