Be aware that FFFg powder burns hotter than FFg does. Sometimes you will get burned patches using FFFg powder, when the patch will not burn if you are using FFg. I also use the same lube that Roundball has in these pre-lubed patches. Wonderlube, a/k/a Bore Butter, a/k/a/ NL1000, formerly known as Young Country 1000. Lube a stakc of patches the day before you go to the range, and let them sit together in a reasonable warm place. If you forget, do it at home before going out on a cold day, and zap them in the microwave for about 5 seconds. You want the lube to flow, but you don't want it to burn. You may have to zap the patches a couple of times to see the lube begin to flow to the edges, so use your eyes, and use your best judgment. I found that using 5 second bursts in the Microwave kept the patches from burning, but melted the lube enough to get it to flow. It really depends on the relative humidity in the house as to how many times I have to heat it in the microwave oven.
