If so,
What boolit do you use?
I'm aware that many molds are available to cast bullets for paper-patching.
NEI
Lee
RCBS
Saeco
and Lyman /Ideal , are companies I'm familiar with - to whatever degree.
NEI offers a .304 caliber 208 or 209 grain bullet mold, but does that bullet have to be resized before "patching" it? If so, I couldn't find anywhere a top punch for .304 caliber.
The bullets I'm actually interested in paper-patching would be for the .30-30, .308 Win and .30-06, in the 180grain size. But any bullets in that weight that resemble the Lyman #311041 mold are much too big to be 'patched' without resizing them.
But how does one get them small enough to paper-patch?
Thanks for any input.
