Any English Civil War reenactors here? If I were in the UK, I'd want to be one. An artilleryman, naturally! Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be merely a vulgar brawl.

“If a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily, I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?” :- Prince Philip said after Dunblane

Robin, I recognize what you're doing - we call it "sponging" on my 1815 crew - but do you use both wet and dry sponge?
On our crew we use a sponge-rammer: when the sponge (sheepskin side) is down the bore, the ram end (solid wood) would be outside the bore. It seems odd to me - backwards - to see someone laboring to push the implement DOWN the bore, while the sheepskin is visible.

Hi Jim
That's a double ended wool mop with a bucket of water down the bore and a thumb over the touch. Easier to push down than pull out
