RE: Burnt patches
Yep...go with a .015 patch, lube yourself, I use SnoSeal and if you still get burned patches either go with a .018 or a .020 patch or put a wad, wasp nesting, or another patch between your powder and ball...You might also find that you can use a thinner patch for the 2nd shot if you don't clean between shots and the burned powder actually helps protect the 2nd patch, preventing burnout...
