The Hyde Base Method

[Kurt]

That's the way a flat based bullet should be patched, maybe even a smaller bare patch for my liking.
The reason for the cup based bullet is for getting the patch tugged into the cavity like the twisted tail way of patching like they used to do. The "Hide" way of patching a cup based bullet is not the best, it damages the weak skirt. The twisted tail tugged into the cup will protect the skirt. The patch will release from the bullet just as fast either way. Twisting a tail on a flat based bullet will kill all posible accuracy.
As far as how far forward with the patch... that is regulated by the alloy, how far the nose gets set back.
