Can anyone comment on the correct way to wrap a patch around a Parker-Hale Jag.?I like the jags but am finding I have to use smaller patches than when using a standard jag. I've found several comments online stating you need to know how to wrap the patch correctly to get maximum benefit of the jag but I'm not sure what wrapping the patch correctly means.

Thanks!

generally i start with a corner, just cause it is easier. it is likely better to use the whole patch as you start to roll it on.

another thing is that i rarely use a full size jag. i use 22 jags for 6mm almost always. this way i can vary the size of the patch to get the diameter i want in the bore. for 30 cal i use 7mm most times.

if you use a full size jag you may need a smaller patch. it is just something i dont worry about as i keep many sizes of patches on hand.
