Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders ticking patches.

I am just about out of patches and was talking to my mom about going to get some ticking cloth for my patches experiment. She said I can stop by and get some and knew what ticking cloth was. I am pretty sure I found some in my pile of tarps I use for painting. It was an old drape from somewhere. I started cutting some patches to try them out. The cloth looks tighter that my store bought patches and 20 thousandths thick, just like store bought. I dont mind buying them online but the shipping is likely 10 bucks . I think Natches has 100 packs for $2.50 but will give these patches a try and lubed with some old bore butter I bought a long time ago. Anyone else cut their own patches? It would make sense on a cold winter night for something to do and could likely get 1000 out of this old drape.
