Paper Wet or Dry?

[Eric Johanen]

Should have thought that one out! Into the die and out comes the bullet sans patch! I could use dry patched with .002 25% paper with my 45-70 Winchester neck sized brass. Wet patched and sized with .0025 100% paper also is a very nice fit. With the Star Line 45-90 brass the necks are too tight so I have to use my .450 to 452 expander to open the necks enough to seat the dry patched bullet. More fun things to experiment with. Since I have my rifles shooting well with greaser's, I've been doing a bunch of work with paper patch this summer and having some pretty good results. The 50-90 is coming along well and also the 50-70. The loads I used last year in the 45-70 are really doing nicely and am working with the Accurate 45-485XR for a hunting load and now to turn to the 45-90 for long range. Good stuff!!
