What type of Cigarette Roller ?

[BrassMagnet]

Yes, I just have to try this. Want to PP some bullets for the 303 British.

Please keep me updated with how it works.

I too tried a roller, docone sent me one, but I went back to my rubber patching block. I get better uniformity on my patches and uniformity is the name of the game.

Rubber patching block?
I could use some info on this.

I messed with mine for a few last night and I think a wet patch and the leather pad glued to a piece of wood, is simpler and faster. If the paper would stick a little bit to the roller fabric things would go much more smoothly.
BTW
I have a piece of hide from which I could cut a few pieces of leather if some people need them.

What size should the leather be?
I have belt strips of 9/10 ounce leather. Will they work?

Ron, I never could get it to work right for me. I went back to using a old heavy thick mouse pad to roll mine on. My 303 has a .316 bore. I found the Lyman 311291 worked out .Size the bullet to .308 then PP up to .317 worked for me. I do not have to size after the patch dried.

This thread isn't old, it is timeless. Hand rolling has not yet worked for me, I am always looking for hot tips.

Hmmm! You mean I finally started a post that is worth reading?

I think I posted this once, but you can roll a cigarette with a dollar bill, just loosely folded in half, tobacco in the fold, put your paper in as you roll. I don't know why you couldn't do a bollit the same way. I roll my own cigarettes by hand, have for years, so I have had lots of practice. Don't need no stinking roller.LOL

Raleigh cigarette roller if you can find one. I found & bought mine while looking for pewter at a estate sale. Tin stamped machine works very well and it~ is~ fast. But I still prefer hand wrapping. I just find it fun to do. Especially so when the wife is watching one of her feel'ly touch'y movie every now and then during our evenings together.
