I go to Wal Mart. I purchase 100% cotton pillow tick in blue stripe for about $3.49 a yard. This will make a lot of shooting for you. I take the yard of material home and wash it in the washing machine. I then line dry it. That removes the sizing from the material. It will mic out between .015-.018 in thickness. You can tear the stuff real easy into strips.

I make a homemade moosemilk lube. I dunk a strip of the cloth in the lube and dry it on some old window screen. After it is dry I dunk it again and dry it a second time. It is now saturated with the oil but almost dry to the touch.

All you do is set the ball and cut the strip of cloth off the muzzle and after driving the ball home with the ramrod your ready to shoot. I personally think you get a better patch because your cutting them all centered to the ball and the barrel. Also I get better accuracy not to mention I save a lot of money....
