Trigger said:I've never tried any of this stuff myself and I certainly don't want to rain on someones parade, but I hope you realize that an important component of paper is very fine sand. If you doubt it, try using typing paper as sand paper. I wonder what 500 or so rounds of this is going to do to your bore?

What is your loading sequence with these?
Tear pointy-end, Pour Powder, & stuff?

gmww said:Hey BS. Is the over powder wad also wrapped in the paper? Also, I tear the pointed end, put card stock over powder and then pointed end first and stuff it home?
:hmm:

FireMaker said:I use paper patches in my .62 fusil. I use .595 balls to allow for ease of loading. Dont think they used to go as tight as we do now. I can get around 10 shots be for a swab is needed. Have been pleased.
