Designing the 2-diameter paper patch bullet.

Don,

I'm not surprised your .40 is holding way out there. That design held up well for me in my 18-twist .40-65 out to 600 and that bullet only weighs 382 grains. It is a good design and really it is an old design.

You should put a log range sight on that and see what it can do at 1000. I have shot mine at silhouette ranges in some pretty nasty winds and it held up well enough to win scope class. Moving to paper patch has really made my .40-65 shine. That bullet in my rifle and Arnie's elliptical DDEPP in his .40-65 are the reason I wanted to get more information out there on the duel diameter paper patch bullets, they work very well.

It's good to hear it working for you too.
