Shooting Round Balls Without Patches

[LAGS]

I don't think it will change the Accuracy much.
But you won't lead the barrel.
You won't have exposed lead if you decide to put them in your mouth as a spit ball.
And you can reload them so fast Vs patched balls , it will seem like you are shooting a vertical machine gun .
Lol

And I have to pack my Hollow Point Bullets with Salt, because I hunt at such a long Range, I don't want the meat to Spoil by the time I retrieve my game. LOL

As I understood it, they used unpatched balls in a combat situation, where they may be moving and firing on the run. No time to mess around with a precision load. They would keep some balls in their mouth to get the wet so the balls would tend to stick to the powder in the barrel and not roll out easily. it would not be a problem as they would be firing it off in seconds anyway. Accuracy wasn't much of an issue if an assailant was charging you and you fired from short range.

Engagements during the Revolution usually started at 250 yards. Paper cartridges were the norm, so they were already paper patched.
