Default RE: Patch/Ball Combo

ORIGINAL: Sharp Shooter

Do you guys like to shoot a Thicker Patch and a smaller ball or a thiner patch and bigger ball?
In my guns I've found a thinner patch with a bigger ball to be more accurate butslower to load, as more lead has to be displaced in order to start the ball. I use the big ball/thinner patch combo for target shooting.

Smaller ball/thicker patch combosload faster, and IF they give adequate accuracy, are a better choice for HUNTING loads.
