    I Need Patch Help

    Thanks for the advise fellas, I'm playing with using olive oil for patch lube. Up 'till now, it's been spit, but being that we're looking at temps around -35f (a normal Alberta winter) a spit patch just freezes up :wink: . So time to experiment with other recipes.

    Investarn Hawken

    I also have a percussion .50 Hawkin and I love it! I throw 60 gns of 3f triple 7 down the pipe and a spit patch with a round ball. I've had the rifle for about three years and I dropped a coyote this fall with it at 20 yards. I'm hoping for a nice white tail this fall. :)
