Stoner creek:
Yes. I shoot the 10-10 duck material. Good tight weave no blowing apart.

The densest material I have ever run across. His prices are really not bad, compared to good cloth at JoAnn. The best news is that it WORKS. Never burns through. Don't both with email or his website. I don't think he uses them. Call in the evening. Leave a message if he does not reply. My friend David put me onto this material, and I have tried most everything else, and returned to this cloth. No need to experiment any more. God Bless, Marc

Stoner...what thickness is the 10-10 duck canvas? I have tried artist linen but founded it to be to thick for my .54.

Cotton compresses easier than linen. Thus a cotton patch of the same weight will load easier. There are many online sources for linen such as fabric-store (dot) com. They will sell small swatches to allow testing. Linen has advantages over cotton if you can find the right thickness. With a .526 ball I can use this companies heavy linen canvas. But while it seems to start OK it does tend the go down harder. Perhaps its filling the grooves better.
