a side benefit of a tightly patched ball is a cleaner gun.
the more pressure you get the more the powder is going to burn, leaving less residue.
i have to smack my short starter several times to get the ball/patch to where i can use my ramrod. i can shoot all day without cleaning or swabbing the gun.
when i get home it only takes a couple patches and bristle brush strokes to clean it.
