if i was using .50 round ball and lubed patch would it put on the ball around around it as i load into the rifle

@lest128 I don't understand your question. please rephrase.

@lest128 if i use a patch that civil war soldiers use would i add it after i put ball barrow and push it down with the round ball

@lest128 as far i i know they didn;t use a patch in the civil war. each soldier was given an ammo pouch. in it were pre-measured paper cartridges. These were used by tearing the pullet off with your teeth and pouring the black powder down the barrel. Throwing the empty paper cartridge away, putting the bullet in, ramming it home and bringing the gun to half cock where a musket cap would be placed. The rifle would then be ready to fire.

@Tapps47

My understanding is they used a paper cartridge with whats called a minnie ball in it. A minnie is a conical bullet with a hollow base. It drops semi-loosely down the bore but when the weapon fires the skirt (hollow base) expands into the rifling. Superior loading speed, and superior effective range over round ball.

@Adui13 exactly. I would of wrote that but comment space is limited. :)

@lest128 u kno how military/malitia with low money used ripped cloth plug the barrel so it may fire than to be a dud

[lest128]

@Tapps47 if i use a prelubed patch like wat they used in civil war, would i put it on the ball like ontop of it as i push it down the barrel

@xD1STURBED1x well with the water technique i showed in the video its reasonable. Some people have to buy every gadget. making the cleaning way harder than it has to be.
