GPR 54 patch thickness

[Wink]

Just out of curiosity what size patch do you find works best in your 54 GPR?

Pillow ticking or drill cloth .018 thick with .535 ball works in all of mine.

pillow ticking .018 with .530 ball. I haven't quite broken in my barrel yet, so I haven't tried shooting .535 ball yet.

And mine shoots well with a .530 ball and a patch of .015.

My 54 GPR likes .020 pillow and .535 RB's.Nice pretty clovers.

I have owned 3 of them, and all of them shot the most accurately with a Hornady .535 round ball & a .016 pillow ticking patch. The .530 loaded allot easier but the .535 shot the most accurately & less fouling also.

I use a .530 rb and .018 ticking. Have a new GPR 54 with around75 shots through it.

I shot the following with my GPR 54cal:
.530 RB: .18 Pillow Ticking Lehigh Valley Lube
.535 RB: .10 Ox-yoke cotton patch,Lehigh Valley Lube

I can shoot either RB /Patch combination and still achieve a 2inch group @ 100 yards, could be better, but my eyes aint to good these days. Not to much difference in Point of Impact between the two RB/Patch combo's. I also have used the homemade Moose Milk Lube with success, but like the Lehigh lube best of all. I shot over 200 rounds of each RB/Patch combination at the range, so be prepared for some long hours at the range. Good Hunting!
