While I'm waiting on the GPR, I got some .530 round ball, but I didn't get the patches because I'm not exactly which ones to get. .010"?? I know I need to slug the bore but, I wanna clean it and make smoke! yeah I'm impatient

In theory this thing should be somewhere in the neighborhood of .540" I know they are all different but I can adjust size of the patch. I read that some of you shove Round balls in there that are way big but if you can get in there ya'll shoot em.

I plan to use Hawg's idea of an egg sinker. I'm thinking of running some 250lb nylon through the sinker then putting a small washer on there an then an anchor knot. Lube it up with some Gatofeo and drive it in there and pull it back out. Sounds like it will work in my head
