One of them days... - Don McDowell - 05-17-2012
Did you ever consider that some days there are some bullets that would just rather not be rolled in paper prior to their final journey
I had one bullet I rolled in 6 count them SIX patches before I got one to stay put.....
I rolled 10 of the .434's in 9# paper for a test fire session...My gosh what a job that turned out to be.
Guess we'll see if the paper is still on them tommorrow when I try to stuff em in a case.

Well Don, vellum paper can be a triple dyed sob to roll dry also. I sure can't find anything wrong with the way 9 lb wraps for me though. bobw

Bob I was wrapping wet.

I wrap mine dry and put them into the charged case as I wrap them. I don't have the patience to wait for them to dry, and my dry wrapped bullets seem to shoot as well as I can hold the rifle. Shoot straight, rdnck.

Hey, I read masking tape works
RE: One of them days... - bobw - 05-18-2012
I wrap both ways just depends on what the paper I'm using works best with. bobw

well don you could put a wrap of baling wire around them to hold the patch on.it could also work for a fouling control method.
RE: One of them days... - Don McDowell - 05-18-2012
Naw balin wire is to spendy and hard to get ahold of and I figured this plastic twine would just melt and make goo....
Maybe I'll try Kurts double sided masking tape,,

I read on the net a guy was talking patching bullets using one wrap of masking tape and two tight wraps of teflon to make it slick

I toyed with the idea of wrapping my patches dry for months. I normally wet wrap 8# Seth Cole paper. Anyway, I tried wrapping one this morning...and it's downright easy, especially with the 8# tracing paper. I can't wait to give them the test at the range soon. What's nice is if the paper doesn't go on perfectly straight you can unwrap it and wrap it again, then work the paper around the base.
