Good info! I got .440 balls today and the wrong thickness of Pillow ticking????

The nearest store with BP supplies had only .440 balls
and no patches under .18 and I needed .10
They suggested I got to a fabric store and buy pillow ticking.
I did so at Walmart, but it must be too thick, because I have all I can do to force the patch and ball into the barrel.
I did load and fire it 3 times and it was as accurate as I would have expected= all 3 shots were within about 8" of the bullseye at 20 yards.
Of course, I don't know how accurate a .45 Jukar is?
I have always been a good shot, but i'm new to black powder guns.
Does this pillow ticking come in different thicknesses at fabric stores? Does anyone use anything different from a fabric store?
Thanks!
