teflon tape
« on: August 01, 2006, 07:47:50 PM »
A short time ago there was a brief discussion on the use of teflon tape.  A manual search provided me with nothing.  I have a couple of questions.  1- How many wraps.  2- Do you lube also.

at least two laps. I've tried to shoot them with out lube but get better results with lube.velocity is a little higher with teflon than just lube. 50 to 150 fps depending on caliber and load.The expander plug should  be big enough that the case is only about .001 tight.Like when paper patching.
