    Are these balls .010 larger than the bore?????? That would make 'em hard to load if using a patch. Educate me.............Daniel

    The cut and paste dropped a word or two... ".310 cal round ball FOR a .32" ...LOL...

    If you shoot ball...these Poly Patches show up on eBay all the time, I use the .45 ones with my Kentucky rifle. They really help to tighten up the consistency. This one is for a .36, but they do come up in .32.

    Do they leave anything in the bore???? I tried saboted bullets in .50 cal. Hawken and could not get the "crud" out of the bore after that. Even a PRB was hard to load after that. No more "plastic" down MY barrels. LOL...................Daniel

    The bonus is that I never observed a powder crud ring when I was shooting with them, I attribute that to the plastic 'scrapper' (the edge of the cup) on the poly patch, cleaning it it each time.

    As for plastic residue I haven't seen any, I usually plug the nipple vent and pour in some Birchwood Cassey ML cleaner down the barrel and let it sit for a bit before I clean. Bore looks spic and span.
