It's time for me to waterproof my pig gun patched boolits so I simply tried what was at hand and that was my molten waxy-lube pot and contents. The Molten wax soaks into the paper quite fine. On firing the patch seems to come off OK but does not fragment well. Then again it was with a Trail Boss load with mild pressures. I did try a H4227 load and that seemed to brake up the patch better.
The question is whether it is a good idea to impregnate the patch so it can't compress so easily in the bore.
Mmm... looking at that patch I can see it slipped on the boolit. I didn't see that previously. It looks like it's time to start using grooved boolits.
