    It does take some moderate effort to seat the patch/ball but nothing extreme.....I do have some .015" patches that I may try, but I will also lube the patches more as everyone has suggested.

    Hello from Salmon, Idaho (Elmer Keith Country)

    Thanks, we lived in the Prescott area from 2016 to 2022......was nice living in the high desert for a while, but we missed having flowing rivers, streams and lakes hence the move north. Good to see AZ is getting some much needed moisture!!

    Thanks to all for the helpful tips, much appreciated. Since I already own several hundred of these pre-lubed patches, would it be safe for me to apply a small amount of Ballistol to each prior to loading to give them better performance and cause less fouling.....I'll upgrade my patch/lube once I...

    Hello from Salmon, Idaho (Elmer Keith Country)

    Salmon is has incredible beauty......and the wildlife is abundant....shot a very nice bull elk in November and have hundreds of elk wintering around our place, including a group of at least 60 nice bulls hanging out on the hills behind us. We are fortunate to be living here for the next two years.
