I just came into a 50 yard roll of tracing paper made by Staedtler and it is very thin. It mics out at 0.0017" and after wet patching a .442" boolit the final diameter mics out at .447". I know the finished diameter is on the lean side but I have a pile of .442" pure lead boolits that I'd like to patch with this paper and was wondering if I'm going to run into accuracy problems. I plan on shooting these out of my 45-90 Shiloh backed up by an 80 grain charge of 2F. Do you think these will bump up enough?

Yes! They will definitely 'upset' enough!

Use 87 grs.!!

guess three mounths is long enough...what was your final outcome with your patched boolits?
