Herding Patches

[Don McDowell]

Some folks put a pan of some sort on the ground just below the muzzle, so the patch falls off the jag and into the pan. Another option, mark your rod so the patch doesn't completely exit the muzzle, then pull it back and remove it from the jag at the breech end.
Pushing the patches thru on a bronze brush will bring them back to you at the breech also. (most of the time)
