Has anybody ever tried 'patching' bullets with that white Teflon plumbers tape you buy at the hardware store for preventing leaks on water/gas fittings rather than the traditional paper?
In my naieviety as a BP shooter,....I have just bought my first BP gun after 30 years of being a 'non smoking shooter!....... Teflon tape is cheap, it's slippery/self lubing so should be good going down the bore, it has very good heat resistant properties, it could be easily wrapped onto a bullet.....(from the bottom to the front end of the bullet so the overlaps are in the correct orientation to stop it being peeled back in the bore).......well, it seems to make sense to me!
,,,,,anybody out there tied this?
Safe shooting
