![]() By the time two or three more are done, the first one is dry. I have not timed it for a total dry because I put it in the organizer upside down and move on to the next one. When I turn it over and flatten out out on a flat glass like surface it holds it shape almost immediately. I'm sure most of you have seen the bullets I use but for those who haven't here's a photo of them.įleener, I use very little glue, just a little in overlapped center as the photo shows. If the person put grease in the grooves before wrapping the paper onto the bullet, by the time he/she gets to the range the paper will have softened and expanded and that would result in the same situation I had. Doing that, the paper doesn't wad up or rip or tare.īased on this I think if someone uses a grease grooved bullet and doesn't put any grease in the grooves, the paper patched bullet should work just fine. Using this knowledge, I went back to lubricating the patch just before I load the bullet. The paper also seems to loose all of its strength. It seems the paper that I'm using soaks up the grease and becomes thicker making the patched bullet larger than the bore. I tried several others and they too wadded up and tore. The lubricated paper tore and wadded up on the muzzles crown as I tried to load it. The next day when I got to the shooting range I tried to load one of them. ![]() I once tried lubricating the paper just after I finished wrapping some bullets. ![]() It is the patch that is in contact with the bore so IMO, the important thing to lubricate is the outside of the paper patch. I guess I'll jump in because the title of this topic is "Paper patch and grease grooves Bullets" and I'm trying to figure out why anyone would use a grease groove bullet unless that was the only kind they had on hand. ![]()
