Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Beginner Purchasing Supplies

I prefer a slotted brass patch attachment to a jag. I feel like I am just pushing crud into the breech when I use a jag. It also allows me to flip the patch around to get at the face of the breech plug. When hunting and your load stays in for a while, use a non water based lube or you will get a rust ring. I use mink oiled patches in an altoids tin. I use ballistol cut back with water to clean, full strength to preserve. It will not darken or soften your wood.
