Just curious, what calibers do you patch for?  I'd like to get a variety of calibers posted so that newbies can see that they aren't limited to the "classic" 19th Century bores.  Myself, most of my work goes toward the 45-70, but I've dabbled in 303 Brit without luck and am thinking about patchcing a 30-30.  Before I get flamed, I know both the 303 and 30-30 ARE 19th Century but are now developed to high power status in my opinion and I consider both, classics in the world of shooting.

I patch for my muzzle loading match rifles in .45 cal.

535 grain bullet I shoot to 1000 yards (and occassionally 1200yds). Yes this is muzzle loading! :)
