Traditions A1286 EZ Clean 2 Cotton Patches .50/.54 Cal 100 Pack

The Traditions A1286 EZ Clean 2 pillow ticking patches deliver consistent accuracy and reliable performance for .50 and .54 caliber muzzleloaders. These premium cotton patches maintain uniform thickness and density, ensuring proper powder compression and gas seal with every shot.

What Makes This Different

Manufactured from genuine pillow ticking cotton, these patches provide superior strength compared to standard cotton patches that can tear during loading or firing. The tight weave construction maintains structural integrity under high pressure while the absorbent fibers hold lubricant effectively. Each patch measures precisely for optimal bore engagement, eliminating the guesswork of cutting patches from bulk material.

Key Features

• Premium pillow ticking cotton construction resists tearing and fraying
• Pre-cut patches eliminate measuring and cutting time
• Compatible with .50 and .54 caliber muzzleloading rifles
• Uniform thickness ensures consistent compression ratios
• High absorbency holds cleaning solvents and patch lubricants
• 100 patches per package for extended shooting sessions
• Clean burning material reduces fouling buildup

Field testing demonstrates consistent groupings when paired with appropriate powder charges and round balls. The cotton fibers compress evenly around projectiles, creating an effective gas seal that maximizes velocity and accuracy. These patches work effectively with both traditional black powder and modern substitutes like Pyrodex or Triple Seven. The material's natural properties make cleanup easier by absorbing fouling and residue during the cleaning process.
