While casting some of the soft nosed bullets I just mentioned in another thread I happened to look over at my tool board where i hang the common stuff. There was a roll of 1" wide Teflon tape on one of the hooks. This tape is not the thin stuff which takes 5 wraps, it is commercial grade that works with just two wraps. So I wrapped 5 bullets with this heavy duty teflon tape. Three wraps add .008 to the bullet and then holding it stretched tight I cut it off even with the start. I used a 90 degree edge not an angle cut. The tape streaches and presses down and stays put.
I put the bullets in an empty can and tumbled them around and the tape did not start to come undone. It looks just like a Paper Patch and I can't wait to see how they load and shoot. The only question I have is how well the tape will come off the bullet after it leaves the muzzle. I thought about making a couple of 3 or 4 pre cuts in the tape to help it 'tear off' while leaving a small uncut band at the forward edge to keep it wrapped. I think the teflon would be better than paper going down the bore since teflon is slicker than any other substance. Looking forwards to my next shooting day, when the primers return for the spring / summer, Ha Ha
