Here's another dodge to get around GC usage: paper patching. Any of you BPCR guys employ that? I never did, but I try the old fad of wrapping a .30 bullet with teflon plumber's tape. It worked pretty good - no leading, decently good accuracy and high-ish velocity with a soft bullet, but in the end was enough of a pain in the butt that I dropped it.


Uhm... YES! Except my powder was RL-7
