Tomorrow will be day 7 but the last time on the range with my Hawken, I used Mr. F to dial in my sights. I originally put a stack of dry patches into an empty <a href='/tags/11' rel='nofollow' title='See all tagged subjects with: #11'>#11</a> percussion cap tin and on the range, soaked them and used what I needed. Almost day 7 and the patches that are in the tin, are still soaking wet! If you want to lube patches a head of time, thats cool, as long as its has a tight lid and not open to the air!
