    Really Thin Paper

    I just came into a 50 yard roll of tracing paper made by Staedtler and it is very thin. It mics out at 0.0017" and after wet patching a .442" boolit the final diameter mics out at .447". I know the finished diameter is on the lean side but I have a pile of .442" pure lead boolits that I'd like to patch with this paper and was wondering if I'm going to run into accuracy problems. I plan on shooting these out of my 45-90 Shiloh backed up by an 80 grain charge of 2F. Do you think these will bump up enough?

    Yes! They will definitely 'upset' enough!
