I recently got the Lee C309-200-R for my 30-06 Rem. 700. The boolits drop out at .309 - .310 on the bands and .298 on the nose. I want to try some paper patching with these. Was planing on sizing to .308 (need to get the sizer yet) and then patching, then sizing to .309.
Should I patch them so that the front edge of the patch is over the ogive?
My bore is .308 x .300. Without patching the .298 nose I think accuracy will suffer due to the unsuported nose. If I do patch the nose, will the patch be torn sufficiently to come off like its supposed to when it exits the muzzle?
