RE: Paper Patching a few more Question - Dave Roelle - 03-11-2014
Hi Klaus:
One thing you might try is patching to nearer bore diameter----------0.448 in a 0.450 bore is a nice hunting load to allow "dirty" reloading. Ultimate accuracy is achieved with the tighter bore fit and so better allignment and a clean bore--wipe and dry after each shot with the paper patched bullets.
These are simply my findings from my paper patch work-----i folllowed these guidelines learned form much better shooters than i am----------the results have been cartridges that perform better than the operator.
Have another try---its fun to learn
Dave

Hi Dave,
i read your posts about PPB carefully and would like to follow your advise to patch closer to borediameter. Have you ever resize a patched Bullet to a given diamenter saying .452 to 450 ?
i`ve been afraid that if i patch one turn more i receive .452 or even more.
My Barrel has a Bore about .450.
I resize some 8mm PPB for my Gewehr 88 from .325 down to .321.
not sure if the paper will be in a ggod condition after this procedure because is shines smooth like glass you know what i mean?.

Hi Klaus:
It certainly can be done, that is resizing after patching---------------the generally accepted "best method" it seems, would be to size the naked slug down to then "patch up" to say 0.450/0.451 with a paper you have access to.
Both methods would work i believe, if the sizing die has adequate lead and a good finish in the bore---------try whichever is easier for you----
Hope this helps
Dave
