Ball and patch thickness for .50cal TC Hawken

[JelloStorm]

Brownbear,

Where is a good place to order a loading block from? I've checked online and can't seem to find any plane jane ones without all the design work.

Or do we have any fellow members here on the forum that make them? If I can just seat them in there and then trim the patch before I go shooting, I can get more shooting time at the range! :thumbsup:

For the price of a piece of wood and a drill bit you can make your own.

Here is a link to the drill size to use to drill the holes thru the wood. http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/192279/

A lot of folks use various hardwoods like oak, walnut, apple, cherry etc but plain old pine will work as well.

I would like to read my patches but have not been able to find them. How far from the muzzle are they?

Usually about 10-12 feet. They will drift with the wind.

Try using bright color patch material.

Learned that trick here.

Here you go if you don't want to make it yourself. http://www.trackofthewolf.com/List/Item.aspx/57/1
