I've never used anything other than pillow ticking, so I can't
answer for advantages other than to say it is a tight weave that
does not burn through for me.
The heavy coarse thread will (in theory) grip the ball better for imparting spin.
Only the outside of my patches receive any lube.
I'll mention that I always wash and dry the ticking before cutting
my patches to remove any manufacturing residue and to slightly loosen up
the fabric.
Maybe test the relative strength of various patch material with (full power)
loads by putting the muzzle into a cardboard box and firing through it to easily recover your patches for examination.
Not suggesting what is right for you, just my .02, JT
