I'll be doing some of that Bronko. But the truth is I've never had much luck with patches thinner than about .015.

I have some .562 balls from a Lee mold around here someplace. I wish I had them along for this session. I think those, with some .020 or .022 denim patch are going to be my best bet for an easy loading yet snug fit.

As for lube, I'm sure Jon's stuff is good and have seen good reports on it. However, I'm over experimenting with new lubes after trying many many commercial and home made concoctions over the years. I settled on Liquid Wrench a few years back after finding it gave me great accuracy in every one of my round ball shooters and will be sticking with that.
