Paper Question

[Steveu]

All,
Thanks to Kurt for the samples of 3 different papers to try in the 40-65 with the DDEPP. Sothworth 409, Papermill and some onionskin copy paper. I loaded up 6 of each and took them to the range this morning for testing @ 200 yards. I wet patched the bullets and the 409 was the thickest then the onionskin and then the papermill, which is very close to the SC55W. I wiped with 2 damp patches and one dry which is what I did when I tested the SC55W. The Papermill shot the best to my suprise both in group and ES. I thought that the thicker paper would have shot better due to a better fit in the bore. Elevation was 1/2 moa with 4 shots touching and a es of 8. The other 2 loads shot 3" vertical and es of 15. I would have posted pictures, but I forgot my phone!

Next is to load up the PM & SC to shoot at 400 yards. I should have my bore weasels ready by then to test also.

Cheers,
Steve
