cayugad, first off if you like something like a snuff can to keep patches in and don't chew you might try those plastic cans very similar to a snuff can that you can get beef jerky in, I would rather chew that anyway. LOL
My 58 is a hopkins and Allen under hammer with a 1-70 twist 30 inch Green Moutain barrel; since I believe you are shooting with open iron and I have a scope on mine it is not a fair comparison but I can normally keep a 2.5 inch group at 100 off the bench. I use 1 cup water soluable oil 1 table spoon citrus soap 2 qt water when I lived in norther IL I used to add a cup of 90% alk in the winter. Have fun ,its been over a 100 every day here for a while.
