New rifle Shiloh 1877---Learning to Paper Patch

[Don McDowell]

The thing you have to watch with the cupped base bullets
1. Keep the cup base very shallow.
2 Even with a shallow cup base they are very hard to cast consistent bases with. The cull rate is pretty high in both visual and weight inspection. I have a cupped base bullet my rifles like very well, but they are exhaustive to cast match quality with. Flat base is a bunch easier and may even show a definet edge in long range accuracy.
