Hi all,I haven't yet decided on a PP mould but in the meantime I thought that I'd try another round of the Lee Shaver bullet.... But this time in 20-1 instead of the lead like last time...It's...

Rob, re the top picture in your last post above. I have been using 100gsm copier paper dampened to patch the Lee 457-450F and get the same hard lumps at the bottom when dried as shown on your picture....

Gents, as a generral rule, the thinner the paper, the more consistent the results. Using something like airmail (yes, I'm that old) or tracing paper with the appropriate diameter of bullet does show...

I have shot PP from my long range match rifles for years, a couple of critiques if I may. make sure that you have no overlap of the paper when you wrap the bullet, many people don't know this but it...

Again, it may not be the way the experts do it but with the dressmaking paper, PP is a simple exercise. click the pic for short video. After they have dried I give them a very light coat of melted...

That's much more than a 'good' start, Rob.....that second group is astounding. I had read/heard somewhere that the grooves found in the original bullets were caused by the case being crimped into...

Nice group! And good info on the moulds you are using. I've been shooting that Buffalo Arms MH swaged paper patch bullet, it is 480 grains and .459" before patching--in a Mk1V with the larger bore...
