One thing I can't tell is of your ends are meeting? when you roll them on they should go around twice and finish up in the same place. I use 25% cotton onion skin paper but that is VERY hard to find now.
I have the Lee improved minie for my 45. My rifle loves them. Have you ever seen my tutorial I did on paper patching? Ron
yes I did read it ron, in fact I had it in front of me while trying it.
I am using old non thermal register tape. could not beat the price. free.
i think my sizer has an some lead or something in it.
i sized down the bullets from there main size to .451 then after the patch was put on .454 sizer.
I take any advice, i am work on getting it down.
dont know yet dave, going to friday. if it does not rain
