Designing the 2-diameter paper patch bullet.

[J.B.]

Finally tried my dual-diam, .44 bullet from Steve Brooks and as expected 'all bets were off' beyond about 500 yds. I had it made fairly long at 1.446" for a 1/17" twist rifle so it wasnt a big surprise in my 1/19. Have now dropped it back to 1.346 to better suit the slower twist and hope to give it a run later this month. No paper-target shoots scheduled until next year now so I'll have to make do with steel. Fingers crossed it cools off a bit and/or we get some rain or the shoot will get cancelled .
