PP small bullet to fill bore.

I am not an expert and am learning PP myself but I think your bullet is to small to start.  The Bullet should just ride on the lands of the barrel.  I would think you bullet would just drop through the barrel freely.  The paper should be the thickness of the diff between the lands and the bore.  If you could bump up your bullet a bit it could work.  Hope this helps.  JB

They can be patched, but I'm not sure you'll get the accuracy you want by going up 0.022".    :shock:
