Maybe do a 2x wrap and when dry slice the pp patch 4x around the diameter so it can shed off the core like with petals.
The second 2x wrap should be cut by the rifling.
Maybe patched to the opposite direction of rifling so it unwinds may help some as well.
A cardboard wad under the boolit may help keep it together on the way through the bore.
Iv'e done this with making shot gun wads. rolling a tube of paper and slicing so it would behave like a plastic one.
With the tube uncut it would shoot like a solid slug and blow pellets everywhere when it hit something like a cut shell effect.
I ended up with just a 1x roll of plastic or cardboard for the cushioning effect of the wad column in the end.
So maybe a 1x wrap of thick paper ala chase and a 2x wrap of thin for bonding purposes.
Ha.
