Will it work?
« on: August 12, 2008, 10:09:54 AM »
If I take a cast bullet from a 358009 mold and wrap it in paper, lube it, then run it through a sizer die, will it be shootable?
Will i need to refresh or rap it in paper and resize a second time? Tell me what I can do to maker these things paper patch com patable. I think the hardness is about 22.

I doubt if the patch would hold up to that much sizing.  I've taken 0.458 bullets, sized them to 0.452 and then patched and they work fine.

With pure soft lead you can size bullets with the paper on. With lead that is 22BHN I don't think you will be able to . Ron
