the 25-35 doesn't really go fast enough to bother wrapping with paper.
if however you still wanna try it,you need to know your bore groove measurements.
size to .001 over bore and wrap to bout .003 then size to .002 over.
you want the paper on the nose to lightly engrave the rifling when chambering and the rest to fill the throat area [basically the same as a naked boolit]
push the round starting with jaxketed loads and look for confetti at the muzzle if you have the confetti the accuracy should be right behind.
you might need to play with the cores bhn to bring things into alignment.
oh you do need to lube the patch lightly too.

anyway that's bout all I know about it.
