Bridgers Best Patches
Bought 300 of these on ebay and they came in a couple days ago.
I really like the weave. One side is fairly smooth, but the other is down right rough as sin.
I like that rough side. I lube the roughest side of the patch lightly and while shooting, it seems like that rough texture makes loading easier. Perhaps its scrubbing the bore a lot better as you load,than a smooth silky tight weaved patch?
I loaded up my flintlock the day I got these patches and the reduced friction of the patched ball was a huge notice right from the start.
I haven't done enough shooting with them yet, but the accuracy is still there, just a lot easier reloading and reduced drag on a clean/fouled bore.
Anyone using these patches?
