Thank you, I just bought a copy of The Paper Jacket by Paul Matthews, hopefully, it will give me a lot more insight into these rounds. I had heard of them before but thought they were just something from the past.Paper patching .45 black powder rifle bullets.
Yeah, I got one of those in 30 cal and was wondering what it was used for. Thanks.Ric nailed it.
they also made core molds like that but without the bullet shaped nose.
they were just a cylinder with the adjustable square base.
I have one for making 22 cal. jacketed bullet cores.
talk about tedious casting and a pot lasting forever.
