I have a small pistol flask with a 15 gr. spout like the use for .31 cal. revolvers filled with cornmeal.I tired cream-of-wheat too,but it kept hanging up in the spout.

denis1112 that is an excellent idea. I have a small pistol flask that throws 25 grains I believe for the .44 revolver and that should work just fine...

thanks

ORIGINAL: Pioneer2

I went up to Walmart to look for pillow ticking but all they had was thin white stuff that looked more like parachute material.100% cotton but paper thin.Any suggestions? Old denim pant legs etc..?Pre-cut .020 patches ran about $8/100 @ the local gun store so I'd rather buy bulk.........................Harold
A few years ago I started using a company in Bristol, TN namedSouthern Bloomer…in business a long timemaking a huge variety of cleaning patches for all sorts of firearm calibers at very reasonable prices, and they’ve added a second line of products called "Muzzleloading Originals".

They have aline of patches &wads invarious calibers, dry and prelubed, etc...their packages look just like Oxyoke Originals packages but has the name Muzzleloader Originals.


I just bought 2000 .40cal x .015" prelubed patches...$3.16/100.
And a couple packs of .60-.69calibers prelubed pillow ticking patches at $3.36/100.


They’re just getting a website going and it is sorely lacking at the moment so the best thing to do is just call 800-655-0342…speak to ‘Winifred’...can't beat the price and you'd swear they were Oxyoke originals.

I also use Southern Bloomer shooting patches. I got some of the dry .015 pillow tick. I lube them with a variety of lubes. Here is what the bag looks like. They are good quality and very good price.

By the way they are 45-50cal but they are a little over sized and work perfect in my 54cal. They are I think 1 1/4".
