Anyone interested in these as revolver fodder?

They are zig zag ultra thin papers. KIK 3F or Ol E 3F powder weighing 15.5 grains. Boolit is the new Johnson and Dow currently offered. Lube on boolits is the old military mix of 8 parts paraffin to 1 part lard, cart is dipped in lube up to paper on the heeled portion.

These are very successful and run for over 50 rounds with no binding nor loss of accuracy. They load very quickly and keep me shooting rather then messing with lose components at the range. These leave the least residue so far but i will continue to try diifferent paper to find the very least residue possible.

Those are looking great Ted. Looks like you have the load down too.

Thanks mazo. My new uberti 60 and 61 seem to like em as well. Sure are fun to load, cap and shoot. I can shoot fast enough to heat the barrel so hot i gotta let her cool down every 2 or 3 cyl fulls. Accuracy remains as well ... too much fun.
