I picked up a bunch of the patches most were good some had a few holes in them and two wrer just shraded I think that they were from the two 120 grain loads that I tryed. I should say that some of the balls went in just like yours did some didn't but once in they were tight goning dowm the bore but I didn't have to hamer them down. I just put the bull starter on the end mine has a hole in the body so that you can put it on the ramrod and have a good end to slap the rod down the bore keeps you from having to push to hard on just the rod. I to would like to have a bigger charge something in the 120 to 130 range I think would be good for deer and elk size game. I know that the balls were out of round as I had them miked at one time I think that I will try my ball mold (.715) to see if that makes a differance It mingt not but you never know. If that doin't work I will have to go with a smaller ball and start over. thanks for the replies. TomN
