I look and found the patch I bought from a gunshop on the way to the range. the thickness was not marked so I checked them .015". they are a dry patch. lube is needed.

I have some bore butter
any other things I can try?

Crisco works very well.

With borebutter or Crisco i just take a little cup, put my lube in, pop it into the microwave and melt it, Dip a stack of patches and let them soak up the lube. Also helps to press down on them to help the lube soak in.

I put some together with bore butter tonite. just plain crisco.

yep, just plain ol crisco. Bore butter and crisco mixed together would make a good lube.

with how I shot my new englander this past weekend I think anything would help. I am going to take another look at the sights to try to fix them myself.

someone walk me thought taking them off?

I could not find anything on that. I must not work in the right place

Another thing you may want to think about corey. You shot a number of lead conicals out of that gun with T-7. There's some chance you've got lead in that barrel. If so, it won't likely shoot PRBs real well unless you get all of that lead out.

could of just me this week,[8D]

Ive shot so many lead conicals out of my .45 and it shoots PRB's great. Never used any kind of lead remover in any of my barrels.

Has anyone ever thought it was me just shooting a sidelock for the very first time. with many mistakes where made.[&:]

Corey---If you are going to use crisco for lube
be sure to get the salt free kind...Or so
I was told this a long time ago...
