I see no reason why you shouldn't be allowed to discuss your style of shooting and choice of cast bullet, powder, etc. You shoot a traditional style sidelock percussion rifle with a peep sight and Pyrodex (or Goex) powder and a paper wrapped, hand cast bullet. You're not shooting a modern style scoped or iron sighted (for that matter) inline rifle so WELCOME ABOARD!

Besides, what's the difference (as far as this forum is concerned) if a bullet is wrapped in paper or cloth (as a patched ball). Paper patched bullets were used prior to and throughout the American Civil War and beyond.

I don't believe the MODS or others will disagree with me...
