Thanks for the sticks pics. That's an improvement over what I made.

You sure do go thru some powder!

Cayugad, what patch lube did you use? Did you wet your patches with Moose Milk?

RE: Graf's Black Powder
 

I used moosemilk. In fact I had no pre saturated strips left, so I just spritzed a dry piece and used it like that.

Great shooting cayugad!!! I wish I had a magic formula for not swabbing between shots.
I've searched in vain for the recipie for moosemilk. Do you think you could post it.
I went to Walmart today and picked up a yard of pillow tick. I'll get my buddy to mike it after the second wash and hang dry. Up here in Canada the old girl in the fabric dept looked at me as if I were strange when I asked for pillow tick. Then I told her it was for black powder shooting and she really thought I was off the wall. hahahaha:D:D

Liquid Lube - Moose Milk[/b]
[/b]
[/b]
8 ounces of isopropyl alcohol
3 ounces of Castor Oil
4 ounces of Witch Hazel
16 ounces of tap water
1 ounce of Murphy’s Oil Soap

(make sure you mix the ingredients in the exact order they are listed)

I buy a yard of material of 100% cotton blue strip pillow tick at the local wal mart. I wash that in the washing machine. I then line dry the material. After that you can tear the strip real easy off that bolt of material. I like to tear off an inch and a half. Then you soak that strip in moose milk. Ring the excess moose milk out. Then I lay that on an old window screen in the sun and let it dry. This is a dry patch . If you like a more wet patch, you can spritz them with a spritzer bottle.
