Is there sizing in the minute men patching that needs to be washed out?

Mark's post is spot-on, IMHO.
I like to see .005" compression in the bottom of each groove. That would mean .017" compression on each land with .012" deep rifling. This calls for as pure lead as can be found for easy loading.(also a nicely rounded crown)
