All my rifles are 50 cals and I've always used precut patches marked ".50 to .59 caliber". Today as I was stocking up on supplies at TOW I noticed they list the same patches marked ".40 to .49 caliber" . I shoot a .490" ball and just wondered if one is better than the other or if both could be used . Just curious, never thought much about it. Thanks
