Iffen the patches are falling off the jag then the jags too small or the patch is too thin. Iffen you cant get it back out then odds are the patch was a tad too dry or possibly the patch is too thick. That said I use a necked ring style jag that allows the patch to bunch up in the necked down area when pulling it out and "store bought" .50 cal flannel patches. I also use a spit patch (No goop) thats been fully wetted via sucking on it between shots.

Keep yer powder dry,
