Hi Guys,
I'm new to Muzzeloaders and was wondering what the true purpose of the 'patched ball' is.
I have a 63' Springfield .58 that I wanted to use with minies but want to try round ball also.
Why do you wrap a round ball in a patch and not the minie??
What can I use as patch material? Old linen perhaps??
Best way to lube them??
Thanks!!
