Bullet size quandry

[Don McDowell]

Ok, been doing some reading in old books. In one I found some interesting stuff about paper patching. It started out with a lecture about how much better grooved bullets were for hunting but patched bullets far superior for target work..
Then it goes on to say that the patched bullet should be .003-.006 smaller than the grooved bullet for the cartridge.....and that patching paper came in 4 thicknesses, with the extra thin being .015, thin being about .020 and same amount going to medium (Bodine referenced medium paper in Seller's book) and thick.
So does that mean that the .451 bullet for the 45 caliber sharps should be that diameter when wrapped, or should the slick be .448-.445 and then wrapped with the paper to bring the bullet to "fit the barrel"?
