I searched for postings, but everything was about making or selling patch knives, not using them.
I've seen one feller put the end of the long patch material over the muzzle, place the ball, and cut off the patch that wasn't under the ball. I don't remember if he started the ball into the muzzle or not.
That seems like a logical method, but I've only seen him do it once.
Do y'all do it like this, for uncut patches, or do you have other steps or methods involved?
How do you lube?
I know this is a pretty basic question, but I'm just getting started, and I don't want the other shooters laughing at me for doing something dumb.
Thanks,
