When I received my .54 cal Hawken, it was recommended in the manual that I use .015 patches with a .530 round ball.....however, doing so was a VERY tight fit; I had to "hammer" the ball to get it down the bore. I went to the thinner .010 patch and haven't looked back. BTW, I did mike the balls, and they were .530, so it wasn't like I was shooting oversized balls.
