Tow for Wadding and Cleaning Smoothe Guns
« on: February 23, 2010, 06:08:38 PM »
For those who use tow for wadding and cleaning, what type due you use? Do you use the loose short ends or the combed out and cleaner roving?

I started out with just having access to the roving. The rougher loose proved to clean better and I have of late been using the same loose to wad with as well.
