Original paper patched bullet designs?

[Distant Thunder]

Stephen, No I have not worked on such a load, but I'm definitely interested in doing that as time permits. I have a gong match coming up on Saturday if the weather is reasonably dry. That will be my first test with this bullet/load beyond 200m and will be at 200, 300, 400, & 500 yards, 40 shots (with 5 offhand). I see no problem with the 200 and 300, but I have not shot a bullet under 520 grains at 400 and 500 yards. I've had good result with both GG and PP out to 500 with bullets weighing 560 to 590 grains. So this will be an interesting test.

This winter or in the spring I'd like to experiment with a load using this bullet that would allow for that kind of dirty shooting. I'm sure I'd have to seat it deeper and develop a lube wad that would make it possible to shoot dirty. Yeah, I would definitely want to work with that. I believe I have some 1F left from several years back. I do have a good supply of 2F and that's one reason I'm using it for this cartridge/bullet, that and it has always shot well for me it this rifle.

Any tips you can pass along on lube wads would certainly be appreciated.
