    I'm going to wrap .200 - .300 over and size to the proper diameter thus compressing the paper making a harder patch.

    You are talking around 1/4 inch oversize here. Dont think that will work to good.
    45 AUTO! Because having to shoot someone twice is just silly!

    A wrap .200" oversize on a bullet with a finished diameter of .321"
    Let's see... .200 + .321" = (ulp) ???

    Give the Gentleman a break! If only I never made typo's. Reading back I see I hit wrong keys and leave out words altogether.

    On sizing to correct/optimum throat dimensions, I've given myself a whole set of challenges; I have seven Lee Endfields in 303 Brit and each one is different! So each one will end up with a different loading - alloy hardness, weight, size and shape. I'm gonna have heaps of fun!

    Of course I meant .002 - .003. I'll post results when I get the dies made and the bullet tested. Thanks again for the suggestions.
