Patching Paper List

Post by beltfed »

I pulled this table from an old CBA thread.
Gentlemen ... Below is a recorded inventory of the various paper patching paper I have collected during my 30 years of BP PP experimentation. The .0022" thick 100% cotton onion skin worked well, in the form of BACO 9# Blue p/n PP100, almost as well as the the .0015" thick Alvin #55W-G tracing paper. Hard to go wrong with the BACO 9# Blue, as long as your wrapped boolit diameter ends up where you want/need it.

Hope this helps,
Jim

I think this was posted about 5 yrs ago.
Sorry that the columns, etc were lost when I pasted it.
I do see a number of them still available on ebay , Amazon,and places like Staples.
Some of these may be no longer available.
A lot changes in the Paper Industry nowadays, what with closings of mills,
Sales of mills, etc.

Arnie,

In an earlier email to me you mentioned using Strathmore 370-9 & Seth Cole 55Y. Do you remember what you used on the bullets you sent me?

Wayne,
The paper on the bullets I sent you is Roselle tracing paper. 4 layers are about 0.0075"
No longer available.
BUT, the Strathmore 370-09 is very close to the Roselle, also 0.0075 for 4 layers
The Cansun Inspiration1557 Tracing paper I have, which is available on ebay, is about 0.0065 for 4 layers.
I really like the Excellent fine formation of the Cansun. Very smooth and uniform.
I am now trying out the Cansun on both that 40-65 bullet and my 371360E bullet for the 38-50RH
In the case of the 40-65, the Cansun wrapped on 403380E I have is a better fit for my FF cases.
I still "slick" up the base band in a 0.409 sizer to compact the base wrap.

Arnie,

Is this the Carson paper your are referring to: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Canson-Artist- ... Swga9eRwCd? If so I also found it on Amazon for a similar price:

Wayne,
The Cansun paper I have is the second one you mention. It is the Foundation Series.
I have the older Red label , which, according to your second ref. has a new black and white label.
I have found that a store chain called "JoAnn" has the Cansun. We have one of these locally 12 miles from here
I don't know if they are in TX.
I have sent you some precut samples of the Cansun and the Seth Cole 55W to fit the bullets I already sent you.
YOu could try wrapping a couple with these papers and see how the 403380E bullets then fit your Shiloh.
I also sent you a couple of the 403415E for 14 twist. These were 16+1 from Harlan Glover. Also some 55Y patches to fit

Arnie
