Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR Down under

Didn't know the background on that and the info is appreciated. I backed into the world of paper patch on a lark and shortly thereafter was thoroughly hooked. It is quite remarkable what ol' Lord Black and a piece of lead can do, accuracy wise. In younger years I was one of the "BP can't possibly be accurate" crowd but have since gotten over that myth. Fact of it is I've found that paper patch can even help smokeless guns shoot a fair bit better than factory jacketed loads. And it will flat out put the splat on critters.

Some of my experiences and I'll let the pics do the talking:







Bullet on top is a Lyman 457125 that casts at about 530 grains with 30:1



Tossed 5 out of it a couple months back using some Swiss 1.5 FG and an old school tang sight.
