Yup Claude. Thanks for the picture. 
That's why my post said, "...Now, in the world of reality, when we load a patched round ball we know the patch, which started out flat, won't really form itself evenly as it is started into the bore. It tends to bunch up and wrinkle.
These wrinkles are the reason that if you cut the patch at the face of the muzzle and then pull it back out and look at it, it will be rather mis-shapen having flat and round edges..." :grin:
