Question regarding patching for a 91-30
Hey Guys,
I have studying up on paper patching here on this forum, and have decided I'm going to give it a go. I have several rifles in which I'd like to try it on, one is a 1943 Mosin Nagant. It's got kind of a rough bore, not so much pitting but tool marks and the like. Am I to assume that this will be detrimental to my early attempts? I have an 03 Springfield that has a nice minty bore, and a Rem 700 30-06 as well. I'd sure like to get the 91-30 to play nice, but should I skip that one for first try? Iv'e been putting things together in terms of boolits & sizers. The bore slugs .3115 +/-, so I'm thinking a .310 boolit with two wraps of the green stripe copy paper, lube with BAC? I have a feeling that I'm about to get into a steep learning curve, but I really want to give this a try. Any advise is welcomed, and thanks in advance for any other tips.
