The "check that load" thread got me thinking about the REAL conicals i like for hunting. I get good accuracy from them out to 150yards, and can hit the steels at my range at 200 regularly. But, once they go past the muzzle they just slide right down. I plan on doing a check next time I'm at the range, but I think I might have an easy way to add some insurance. If any fly tyers are on the forum, you probably know a whip knot. I was thinking a couple wraps of a natural fiber like a linen thread in one of the grooves of the real bullet would do the trick, kinda like a paper patch. I'd have to experiment, maybe 3 wraps, maybe 5, but whatever the magic number is, it wouldn't take more than 10s-20s per bullet.
Can anyone think of a reason why this might be a bad idea?
