PP a 22 for a 30 cal?

Dear All
Has anyone done it?

Don't think that one would fly.
I could be totally wrong on that but just a tad to much paper for me to figure it would work.

why not get some of those SABOTS that convert the 30 caliber into a .22? I could never get them to work consistently though. They WOULD be a lot less work then the PP.

................I'm with kodiak1. Might even just blow the boolit out of the paper and leave a bore obstruction behind. But heck, patch one up and let us know what happens!

Used to get the accelerator from Remington. It came in .308, 30-06, and 30-30.
I have fired a few, but, I never saw the advantage of them over a lighter bullet in that caliber.
Screamin velocity, never found the fired sabots, and could sometimes hit the target.
EABCO had the sabots, tool, and load weights.
I just never spent a lot of time experimenting with sabots.

I remember of an article (many many years ago) of a guy using paper GLUED on a bullet of minor size for full loads. He was using 44 lead bullets on 45 cal., 38 on 44, 30 on 38 and so on. He was covering a minor size cast bullet with numerous coats of paper to save the cost of gas checks obtaining a bullet usefull for full loads but it seems to me that he was paying the saved money with elbow grease...
Anyway, the paper jacket was intended to stay on the bullet during the flight and not to leave the bullet as exited from the muzzle.
If you want to try a similar way, joining Kodiak1 and Buckshot, I think it's better to use a .270 bullet for a .30 cal .
