I have been trying to find some sources for different papers (thickness) and have been coming up dry. The only paper I can find is .002 or a bit under say .0017. Does anyone know where I can get some good paper a bit over .002? From .0023 or .0025 would be nice. I am trying some bore diameter loads and with a .440 bullet my patch bullets are eitther .447 or .448. I would like to try a few closer to bore size.

Thanks for your help.

Office Depot stores have a nice selection of paper

I have done three wraps and sized to fit.
Did not have any issues.
