I was first introduced to that patching material at a TMLRA meet in Brady, Texas a couple of years ago. I think I may have incorrectly posted how it is used. First, charge the rifle with powder; place the material shinny side down on top of the muzzle; lube the dark side; place the ball onto the dark side; start the ball; when the ball is just below the muzzle, cut the material off; finishing seating the patch and ball onto the powder.

As soon as the weather warms up, I am going to try it in the pistol mentioned above. Hopefully, I will be able to document it and post the pics here. Either way, I will let you all know how it works.
