RE: Paper Patch question
Just enough fold over that the paper barely meets at the center of the bullet. Yes just to the break of the ogive, if you go further you may have some troubles, you can go a bit shorter, but if you get to short you will pick up some leading.
70-75 grs of whatever 2f you got hanging around.
Just a .060 fiber wad isn't a bad place to start, wipe between shots with 50-50 rv antifreeze and water.
Probably have to seat deeper into the case to get the round to chamber without rumpling the front of the patch. Seating depth is going to depend on what you, the rifle and the bullet can all agree upon at the target.
