Welcome to our therapy group for paper-patch addiction. I don't believe any one of us wants to recover from this addiction. It's too much fun?
Best regards,

What kind of paper is that? It looks like the kind of paper you put in party bags to hide the present inside...Originally Posted by edwin41

Those look cool. I call this an addiction, but it slowly is becoming therapy for me to let off stress.

Getting ready for Easter?
Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H.L. Mencken
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.― H.L. Mencken
That looks like a loooong boolit. What is it? Maybe a 6.5 cruise missel patched for a 270?
looks like the 266469 for Edwin's 6.5x55

nanuk has it right !
its the lyman 140 gr bullet for my 6.5x55 rifle.
the paper is bar printingpaper , i got this from my work , these are "workorders"
and they have 4 sheets in different colours , white , bleu , yellow and pink.
accually great paper for my use , cost me nothing, and i have a lot of it !
nice thing about it is that when i cut one , i ll have four patches .
of course the bullets have a paper disc stuck to the bottom of the bullet ,
i really think it makes a great difference.
the 6.5x55 mm really is a great and versatile cartridge , my favorite by far for rifles.
here a finished one , overall lenght is some 75 mm , final lenght is determined by closing the bold.
and oh yes... im ready for easter !
I am really glad I got that cover for my keyboard
yups , they did great!
