Hi everyone I just stumbled across this forum today while browsing the net and decided to join up.I noticed a few threads about paper patching .308 bullets so they could be used in the older mausers and commission rifles with .318 bores and that got me interested.
Right now I own two Gew88s with .318 Czech barrels on them that are near mint but as you know finding .318 bullets can be very problematic so Im thinking about paper patching as an cheaper alternative since .308 bullets are more easily obtainable.
If anyone has any experience in paper patching for the older German rifles Id appreciate any tips anyone can give me.Ive never paper patched before and have only been reloading for about a year so Im still a bit of a noob but Im hoping to learn some things while Im here.Thanks ahead of time for any information you guys are willing to share.
