Sounds like fun Sabotloader!! It truly is amazing how little bullet resistance is needed to shoot Accurate, These Paper Patched bullets are a testament to it! I have shot the BACO .444-400 Paper Patched bullets that load with the weight of the ramrod alone accurately all the way out to 500 yards with my 1:30 twist GM LRH TC Hawken sidelock and Peep sights. I recently started playing around with tightening them up in the bore for my style of hunting and am super pleased with my results thus far. I just don't trust a bullet that loads this easily for hunting, But accuracy is AWESOME!

When you speak of Knurling to tighten the bullet up, will it work with a softer lead Conical? I have a few different Grease Groove lead bullets that start out plenty tight but end up loosening up a bunch about halfway down the barrel, I've thought about trying to Knurl them but just haven't done it
