Thanks, guys.

Pahoo, I'm just using 75 grains because that's what the current tube on the flask throws.It's certainly shooting better than I can hold it.

I think since it shot pretty well with the looser patch, I'm going to see how loose of a patch I can use, w/o sacrificing accuracy.

Next patching experiment? Blue WalMart shop towels treated with Wonder Lube or cheap vegetable oil. Does that scream CHEAP! or what? I'll post back here with results.
