By "dry patch" I dont really mean dry patch but rather it is 7 parts water and 1 part ballistol mixed together. Soak the patches , then take out and dry. Once they dry just bag them up and you are ready to go. This gives me the most consistant shots and the patches are consistant with the amout of lube on each one. try it you'll like it
