Hi Skinny...
Pillow ticking is pretty tight stuff usually and works pretty well with almost any lube. What size ball are you using?
Experimenting with that might prove helpful as well. If, for example you are using a .495 ball and a real tight patch with sharp lands, that could be a recipe right there.
If you have some .490 balls to try and a thicker patch (still tight weave), this might not cause the patch to be driven into the lands so much when you shoot.
If you can swab your bore with cotton on your rod and you feel it snag, then for sure I'd give a few strokes with a lapping compound of some sort.
Aloha... Tom
