Knight Mountaineer .45 Cal 1:20 Twist Paper Patch Bullet Test
#11
Ron got me onto paper patching and I've been tinkering ever since. Casting the bullets from a 11 mm mold and sizing down to .443" I patch them to a finish dia of .449" which just makes contact with the lands. If I use a heavier paper or I even tried double patching then running them through the .451" sizer they come out at .452" (likely due to the elasticity of the paper). These go in the barrel fairly easily with maybe 5 lb of pressure. Haven't shot the larger ones yet but plan to as soon as it gets cool enough. I can't stand this 90*+ temps with high humidity.
