jebb45Poly Patches
Can any one tell me where I can get some Poly Patches for a 45 caliber round ball ?????
There was a bag of them listed on gunbroker:
http://www.gunbroker.com/Aucti....aspx?Item=170751179They apparently did not sell, you could contact the person and ask that he re-list them.

Thanks for the info,, I cannot get a message to this person and there is no listing in Jackson Hole, Wy for that company. If you can get a note to this party and have him e-mail me, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks

SagSertJebb45,
I did an in depth search out of curiosity but couldn't find a current supplier for Poly Patches. Seems like Buttler Creek was the manufacturer but there is no mention of it in their web site or their current catalog. I noticed the listing in gunbrooker as well, seems like he had 2 listings for 2 calibers a while ago.
Have you used them before ? I never have and would like to know more.
Cheers

Yes, I have used them in the past and I am almost out of them. I have used them for almost everything. you could keep your rifle loaded alot longer with them instead of the cloth patch. Accuracy was extremely good 1" to "1 1/2 at a Hundred yards. They worked very well. thanks

Antelope SniperI had the same issue when I tried to locate some a few years back. I was told they are no longer made, so if you find some, be sure and stock up. Like you, my accuracy was also better with the poly's vs the traditional patch.
Good luck.

EterryI used them for my cva 45 kentucky and they seem to have more velocity as they hit a little higher at 100 yards then with spit patch. And like said you could leave your rifle loaded longer w/o worry of powder getting damp. I havent seem them offered in years, I was scrounging through my dads old reloading bench recently and found a bag I had left there 20 years ago, but I dont know where you would locate any....good luck on your search.
