    Paper patching for a revolver

    I've got a 454 and a lot of 44 bullets can I paper patch them and use them in my 454?

    Too big a difference in size. 429 to .454 is .025 and you would not get any accuracy.

    Thank you for the answer. I thought this would be a neet experiment.

    I have patched for various handguns in the past. Size the bullet to BORE, not grove diameter, and patch back up. Gave it up, couldn't find any advantage over naked bullets. Now rifles are a totally different story. Jacketed performance, no leading and most important, CHEAP!
