Designing the 2-diameter paper patch bullet.

[Distant Thunder]

Finally got a picture of the bullet itself and a couple patched with two different papers I have. The white paper is the stuff I use for both my long range bullet and my silhouette bullet. It is a 9# 100% cotton onionskin that is no longer made. The blue paper is also 100% cotton and is the same .0020" thickness. I can see that my template would need an adjustment for this 2-diameter bullet and I'll tackle that soon, that's not a surprise really, it is a larger diameter bullet so it would need a longer patch. You can see the base band and the "patch to" line on the bullet. It is a good looking bullet for sure. Should shoot great.
