I am a newby to smokeless patching.
I am loading for a Martini in .303 British. Casting from wheelweights this 200 grainer, now with a gas check to stop some leading.
Still getting leading.
A previous post said all the bearing area should be patched. On this long bullet perhaps I should patch up past the bearing bands to near the nose.
All my patching has been black powder and I can find the patches.
I have fired over 50 of these from the Martini and yet to find any remains of a patch.
Is this normal or are my patches sticking to the bullet, going up range and destroying any accuracy?
