Default WalMart Fabric Cleaning Patches

If you see a guy browsing the fabrics department in WalMart, you can pretty well figure he's a muzzleloader shooter (well, most of the time).

Ran across this stuff the other day for $1 a yard. It's 72 inches wide andhas a waffle texture and makes absolutly perfect cleaning patches. Bought three yards. It took me a little overa half hour to cut two-hundred2" X 2" cleaning patches, and I have enough left overfor 800 more patches.

(4) If you eat right and exercise, don't smoke or drink, you're going to die anyway.

very nice... you going to make anything else out of all that?

I guess I will have to send my sister over to Wal Mart and have her check for 100% cotten cheap fabric.

I'll be heading over to Wallyworld.
I've run out of my wife's old nightgowns to cut up, and I don't dare touch a new one.
