.020 thick Teflon coated patch and 50 grs. Goex FFF. Rifle has both peep
and open sights. Has a Lyman Globe front sight with inter changable inserts.
Has won the Missouri State Championships several times. Barrel is 30 inches.

Nice! I've just been getting into .40 cal myself with a new Colrain barrel.

What's the source of teflon coated patches? I've heard rumors of them but never seen one. I thought the stuff was toxic.

Here is the .020 Teflon Patching. I will post a link . You buy it by the yard.
I think it comes in .010, .015 and .020 thickness. Here is the link to buy it. http://theminute-men.com/store/index.php?cPath=21

This list of outfits producing teflon patch material is old so it may be outdated. Using teflon patching requires that the barrel be swabbed between every shot.
