That makes sense, I live in central Florida, where it’s very warm and humid most of the year. And I always clean as soon as I get home from shooting, so maybe I’ve never had a lot of buildup.

I have been curious to why everybody uses lube. I always heard it was to cut down on buildup of powder residue. The last time I was out shooting, I didn’t lube the over powder wad just to see if it would get worse, I didn’t notice any growing resistance to loading, but it still got me thinking...

Howdy So I’ve been shooting my 28ga smoothie quite a bit, I’ve settled on a load of 80gr FFFg - felt wad - .535 ball and felt wad. At 25 yards it shoots holes touching if I do my part 😁 So it got me thinking, I assume the barrel with lead up a bit, what do ya guys use to clean out the barrel...

I’m also in need of a 28ga Kibler Fowler 😁😁

Awesome news, I’m patiently waiting 😁

That’s what I try to do, make a birds nest technique 👍

But I was thinking about this question, wondering if there was any historical evidence if tow was used in rifles as well. I’ve heard somewhere that leather patching was used, maybe that was the precursor to cloth patches 🤔

Oh yes, I love using tow in my smoothie, for everything 😁 haha I think it’s the simplicity of it that I like, I need so much less “stuff” to enjoy the sport. My next gun with definitely be a kibler colonial, and it will for sure be a smooth rifle 👍 now I just need to figure out .54 vs .58 cal

I was wondering, Was tow ever used for wadding in rifles? Would tow under and above a ball in a rifle help spin the ball? Or was a patch always traditionally used in rifle? Anybody ever try it? I only have a smoothbore, so I can’t experiment. - Adam
