Paper Patch question

[Dave Roelle]

Hey Don and Bruce----------------thanks for the direct feedback !!!

Bruce:

I can mix alloys and play around with that easily------i'll see what happens this weekend with the 30/1

i have a full machine shop at my disposal and so have ground up a custom expander that just lets me finger seat the bullet as currently wrapped

I fully understand "what the gun likes"--------it's a Shiloh #1 and seems pretty easy to please

Thanks for the feedback on the patch placement----------the reason for wrapping at the ogive break is pretty straightforward------------the wrap around the base corner was not--and of course opinions will differ based on individuals experience----------soooooooooooooo going to wrap say 0.150 around the base corner and see what happens--that should leave som exposed lead in the center of the bullet base

Wad stacks are all over the place when i research them over several individuals and web sights, seems that quite a few folks use a short lube cookie for its sealing advantages------soooooooooooo i'm getting a set up arranged to cast some lube sheets also.

Again thanks

Dave
