Designing the 2-diameter paper patch bullet.

[Kurt]

Jim,

This is what this rifle is capable of doing. It has shot some very fantastic load tests and I really should use it for the purpose I build this rifle. I had a mind of using it for the Toloffson class that was starting at the Nationals and for the long range at Lodi but I never drug it out to shoot except one at the Quigley and I shot a 41 using it but the offhand ended that win with only one hit I think a 43 won that match.
When I got this rifle I loaded rounds that would shoot with out fouling control just to fit the Starline brass for the chamber and I shot 100 rounds dirty except once blowing down the barrel after around 80 rounds at 180 yards and only three rounds drifted out to 4". The bullets were patched .003" or maybe .004" don't recall now under bore diameter. I think that long round barrel has very little vibration and flexing that makes it do so well. But again it makes you want to pull your hair out the next day you shoot with the same load you might just as well use a sling shot.
The right target has 5 shots each.
