Perhaps because I did it wrong, I found spit incredibly hard to load the only time I tried it. I put the patch in my mouth while loading one, firing, then brushing the pan and measuring out the next load. It was a task ramming it down. Just my experience.
I prefer a little bit of mink oil. Basically just wipe it across the surface of it in the can a couple of times then work it in with my thumbs.
Caveat - I don't go for extreme accuracy or hunting, just acceptable 2" groups at 25yds, muzzle end bag supported. As such, ease of loading and cleaning is most important to me.
