ahhhh man! SOB our walmart doesnt carry jack squat for muzzleloading. that optima is a really good deal though.

i was reading on the APP sight under FAQ and i read about not having to use lube on the patches when shooting round balls. I loaded up a .490 round ball with .018 tick wow is that a tight fit! I'll shoot 3 shots and see how the patches look, but most importantly, how the group is.

Let us know if the patches tear up and try putting them in the kill area this time, just kiddin.

I tried that several times the patches burned a lot worse. While Bore Butter is not so great as a preservative it sure did work well as a patch grease. Lee

I have always used bore butter or the like on my patches. Never used dry ones.
