Size of paper

[EMC45]

What size do you cut the paper for say a 7.62X54R? I will try notebook paper for my patch. I have seen a piece of metal made so you can lay it on a paper sheet and the cut around it, but wasn't certain what the exacts were. See what you guys have done?!!!................

1" x 1 3/8".

Completely square cuts or diagonal ends?

This is where my technique comes in. Do you have the dimensions of your boolit? Have a look at my thread "Perfected Pater Patch Design". I'll add my measuring method there now.

Either, I find diagonal cuts easier to use though.

[EMC45]

Do you fold eveything under neat and tidy or do you make a tail of sorts with the excess?

I have found that if you have access to a CAD program, it is easy to draw up the patches, print them on inkjet, then cut them out with scissors to try new things. I have just played so far, not fired any :-).
