powdercharge for starters would be 37 gr vithavouri n 160 , mabey dacron filler,
paperpatch would be printingpaper , as mentioned as chain paper.
bullet with patch sized a little over bore diameter , little beeswax / vaseline lube.
sounds like a good startingpoint?
yet another question
over here it gains some popularity for shooting with highly tuned down loads.
i believe it found its way here from gemany , used in indoor short distance matches.
they shoot a casted bullet , gaschecked , at some 1400 to 1600 ft/sec.
the question now would be if i can use the same paperpatched bullet as described
to make a plinking cartridge , for indoor use.
im thinking of some 11 grains of unique powder.
or is a gascheck better for these plinking loads ?
would i have to use the dacron filler with these loads?
