Never been aound anything but round balls. Do they still use a patch when using the bullets?

Have a older .54 Lyman hawken kit gun. That gun was a absolute PITA to load , until we tried .526 round balls, and the thinnest patches we could get ahold of. It made a big difference...wonder if you dont just have a slightly undersized barrel?
