What type of lube would be best to start out with for a patch lube? Would that recipe for Cayugads Moose milk be a good thing to try? I think that he described it as a dry type patch. Do they then require any other lubing thefore loading the gun? They sound like they would be the least amount of mess for shooting.I have read somewhere that the Crisco works good as a lube also, sounds like it could be a messy type lube though. I would think that lubing the patches myself will be the cheapest route. What do you guy's do to usually avoid the least mess on your hands when handeling these lubed patches? I wish Spring was a little closer, I want to try some shooting.

Would purchasing the pillow ticking be the best patching material or would it be best to go with the pre-cut patches? This is all going to be a new learning experience for me, but it is really looking like a lot of fun!
