<< < (2/2)

Hillbilly:
Try 'em all and see what shoots best in your gun. I know that I have had several friends try the minie balls for hunting and wound up losing some deer. Patched round balls in a slow twist barrel or Maxi-hunters in a faster twist barrel are the two ways to go, IMO. there is a difference between the maxi ball and the maxi-hunters, too. You can use any kind of cotton cloth for patching as long as it's 100% cotton and the right thickness.

recurve shooter:
i'll check it out. the cotton stuff that i had was to thin, and i cant find anything thicker. im thinkin ima go to the thrift store and try to find some all cotton blue jeans.  ???
