Been shooting roundball my whole life but finally lit off my slug gun for the first time. 100% new to conicals and paper patching. Having no idea what the barrel would like (it's .450 on the dot), I ordered some 400 gr .441s from BACO, 2 wraps of 9lb paper, and 75gr Swiss 3F. Just an Ox Yoke lightly lubed felt wad under the bullet. 1:18 twist 30" barrel. Growing up patched round ball and looking at patches, I made it a point to find a few of my fired paper patches just to see what might be left. I was shocked to find them as intact as they were. Ignore the photo of the rolled bullet, it was my first and the paper just a hair long, but do my fired patches look "right"? I rolled dry. Twisted tails were cut and pressed into cupped base, and generally intact after firing and I didn't see any burning. Patches were all within about 6 paces of muzzle. Am I on the right path here or anyone see something obvious I'm doing wrong? Waiting on some .060 veg wads, the .160 felt all I had handy. Thanks
