Anyone know anything about Paper Patching?.... .318 still falls through the Neck of a fired Case...
It takes generally 2 sizers and a lot of range time .
I'm a lousy written teacher and there is just too much nuance in details to offer at my level of elicution . (SP)
Go over to Castboolits under the forum heading Black Powder paper patching there is or was a sticky about paper selection . It's important to the longevity of your needs . It will fill in a lot of information , it is also best read 3-4 times over several days . It is well written but the amount of information and reasonings is massive ........in an interesting twist after you fondle about 30 sheets of paper from sources ranging from dollar bills to news print to printer and tracing paper of various weights it becomes very simple to see and apply .
There are/were 2 very good threads under smokeless paper patch . What works for me and another , both stickies I think . Again massive amounts of intricate information that becomes very simple once applied . 303 Guy is a very good grease monkey kind of guy to read . There was a guy that was getting 3000 fps with a 180 in a 300 RUM but I think he passed away recently so only his writing remains . I can help if the information doesn't click maybe . I had to patch a 7.62×39 to get any kind of groups with it it had a .305×.3165 barrel and would chamber freely a 325-175 sized .323 .
