I seem to remember something about that in Paul Matthews book "Forty Years with the .45-70". I think he waterproofed the patches and seated them so that the patches were entirely within the brass. But I might be mis-remembering the details.

This partially correct, Paul wet patched to groove dia. dried the patches and then had them in a mesh screen basket to dip into melted paraffin .he did seat them to where he needed them but not with the patch completely in the case over smokeless loads. Bruce is right NO bump up in smokeless. goodluck.
