RE: a little fun with paper patched bullets and the .45-2.6
Yeah that Borchardt can shoot as long as I'm having a good day :-). The first LR match I shot it in was Byers last year and it worked very well for me. But then conditions weren't super tricky last year, although I did get a couple of surprises. I might retire the Borchardt from competition, or use it as a backup gun. If so, it'll either be replaced with this .45-100, or my Long Range Express in .45-90 ( GG shooter ).
My PJ money bullets are 1.451" and I patched them 0.760" up the shank. I just eyeballed where the ogive started so may have to go a touch longer maybe. I think they are a touch less slippery than the BACO bullets, but maybe less succeptable to nose-slump-flyers. I also have the BACO elliptical PP bullet to test yet.
Chris.
