PP paper thickness.

just a question..has anyone heard of 10 pound patching paper? Nine is ok, but I'd like to see if 10 would still chamber.
\ just wondering...Ken

kenny,
there can be much difference in thickness beteen say 9lb papers.
lb weight is a rough guide at best.
it can pay to get a selection of onion skins from ebay just to try them out.
sometimes 8 lb can be thicker than 9 lb.
if you find one that suits you can then look out for more of that specifically.
the other thing is to buy a mob of seth cole 55w, and get a mould to suit.
that paper is repeatable and available.
keep safe,
bruce.

I did compare 9 lob papers and 7 and 8 .
I found that the 9 lb bunch runs at .015 and the 7 and 8 lob run at .010

I'm just wondering what a paper that is about .018 or .020 would do?

The cheap parchment paper that Dollar Tree sells runs about .0019-.00195.

Do you shoot your patched bullets dry, or do you lubricate them...if so, with what?

My match rounds I patch dry, my hunting rounds I patch with Rooster Jacket to keep them weather resistant.
