as far as lube, some use "water" to wet the paper to help in the rolling process, then after it drys use as is or some use "speed green" or any general lead bullet sizing lube. No lube in particular, just onest that are good for rifle loads and the velocity they are using.

I'd suggest heading over to castboolits.com and checking that forum out. Lots of paper patchers and casters there.

Thanks Blammer. The typing paper, cotton bond of some kind, sounds very similar to what Matthew's in his booklet ("The Paper Patch") recommends, although his paper sounds really thick!

As for lube and wetting the 'patches,' no doubt experimentation and trial and error are called for.

Appreciate it, Blammer. wink
