Could be that the barrel is rough enough to slice and dice your patches and allowing enough fire to surround them that they set fire. In a rifle doing the same the same the fire might get blown out...

A couple years ago I began powder coating for the 45-70 and have never looked back. Mostly 5744 but am looking for an opportunity to try Shooters World buffalo. My "do-all" is a Lee 405 pc'd and...
