Dean hit this on the nut.Don't fix what isn't broke. My .440" 45 TGBS ppb at 530-540 grs at 1-50 alloy wrapped in vellum shoots good for me. And yeah I use a lube wad for my target loads to help keep my fouling soft, 2 wipes with a damp patch works for me. The upper wrap is confetti but the base wrap is still in 1 piece. bobw
