Last after I got back from the range shooting my new black powder (which was a blast btw!) and was cleaning it. I was almost done, I ran my final patch through it (that had a bit of oil on it) and when I pulled the cleaning rod out: NO PATCH!
(I had run out of my reg patches and was using other type - a bit thinner; big mistake!!!)
Crap I thought (that's the PG-Version ) now what?
I tired shaking it - hoping the it would come out but didn't. I thought about running some water down the barrel but there had to be a another way.
After about about a minute I remembered: I have a patch-puller!
I attached it to the end of of my ramrod and after a bit of work - out came the patch! It's a small item that doesn't cost that much but it just paid for itself! The funny thing is I almost didn't buy one but I did it after a couple of recommendations, I'm glad I did! (along with a few other items)
Looking back I still don't see how that patch came off, stuff happens I guess.
So for those who are just starting out in BP; buy the (at least the basic) accessories - One day you'll be glad you did!!
