Nother question.
I've been casting boolits, to try paper patching, for a couple .303s. Haven't gotten real serious with the patching yet, other than wetting and wrapping diff. paper around the boolit. These slugs drop right at .3095, out of a Lee mould.
I found some old 3m masking tape, and was fiddling with wrapping some around a couple boolits. I was amazed that one wrap puts these right at .315, and they were sticky enough to still stick to themselves, however, the outside was dry, not gummy at all....these look perfect, and Im going to try some in my two groove, as soon as I buy a set of dies. Has any one else tried paper masking tape? I could see that new stuff may be sorta gummy, but this old stuff I found is pretty dry.
Couldn't use it for masking, thats for sure..
