RE: Patching the 32-40
don, ned is probably right.
however starting short and working out longer is never a bad thing.
I have used ldpe on its own, and ldpe plus felt, both with good results.
no free lunches here you have to do the yards to find best results, but when you do you will be astounded.

I paper patch to bore diameter for my .45-70 and will be doing so with my .40-60. I read about the breech seating and may give it a try. What's the purpose of having a gap between the over powder wad and the bullet base? Why not insert the bullet and breech seat it with the cartridge case, leaving relatively no gap?

Am following this thread as I have recently aquired an Ideal PP adjustable mold. Now I am waiting on a Cornell 32 wad punch and I should be all set to give it a go. Looks like fun.

RE: Patching the 32-40
I was hoping this thread would take off. Been waiting for any information on 32-40 BP. I have a breech-muzzle loader that I have acquired almost one year ago without having fired it as of yet. Thought Black Powder is way to go per ODG books on subject. Luckily I acquired an original Ideal Cylindrical mold with round nose point to use. Now I am waiting on a 32 Cornell wad cutter. Then all my excuses will be gone. Any advise as I plunge into this? Time to get the Swiss 1.5ffg and Pennsylvania Goex CTG 1996 dusted off and give her a whirl.
