Hi Standstall, we use them alot in competition but it is not the teflon you can find at the stores in spray cans. I have never used the teflon you can find in the stores on my patches.
Do a search here for teflon and you will find pages of info, some good some bad but the results of the use of this material treated with the teflon speak for itself. Accuracy can also be had with other lubes too providing you use the proper patch material, it doesn't have to be coated with teflon.

correct. but if you are shooting an over size patch and ball combination in your rifle you will need to use teflon patches to load the rifle with ease without distorting the patch to the point where it tears apart. which will throw shots and make the acuracy drop off fast.

Hola from the south Amigo,
You will still be able to load a bore sized and even a larger than bore sized ball with a patch without the teflon coating. However the patch material will have to be the type that will withstand the preasure and heat which usually is some sort of sail cloth material, canvas etc. The teflon will only allow you to load the larger balls easier but the material will all be intact no matter the lube used. The ball on the other hand, being near pure lead, will readilly conform to the dimentions of the bore, its grooves and the patching once it is seated and this usually ends up distorting the ball a bit.
