Square patch sizes

Certainly saves room in the hunting pouch, garra! :wink:

To be historic correct, you may want to find an old slide rule...

Not even sure a slide rule would be historically correct. You could certainly use an abacus! :wink:

I must agree with the patch size affecting accuracy with small calibers. Let me add one more factor that affects the accuracy in cold weather. I used to use moose snot all of the time but as the temperature drops you need a lube that does not get stiff. I have used bear fat with success at temps below 40 deg. Hope this helps.

Interesting. I used Moose Snot in -11° Fahrenheit weather when I lived in Vermont. I made up a batch of it because my tube of Bore Butter was frozen solid and made a much better hammer to put up targets with than anything else. Never had trouble with Stumpy's Moose Snot. Made a new batch just a few weeks ago.

Hey Stumpy, what's your take on these vastly different results? How does your own mixture work for you in cold weather?

I've used Moose Snot below 10 degrees F with no problems.
