Original paper patched bullet designs?

[Distant Thunder]

SB,

When you mentioned be able to shoot several shots without wiping I figured there was a lube wad in there. I may give that sort of thing a try down the road a ways.
I definitely like the looks of that bullet.

I did hunt with this rifle years ago, but stopped using it when my eyes took a turn for the worse. I always used a 525-grain grease groove bullet cast at 30:1 or 40:1 and it worked very well on a buffalo, an antelope, and a whitetail buck and a lot of other smaller critters. I carried that rifle all over the northeast part of Wyoming for 3 or 4 years and had a lot of fun hunting and stalking. Many times I passed on the shot after much time spent getting in close because I had already accomplished the hard part and didn't really see the need to kill the critter to satisfy myself. These days I would probably take the shot because my days in the field hunting are numbered. I will probably hunt with it again when I feel I'm ready, but it will be with paper patched now.
