dont think ive ever posted the results of trying something else in patching smokeless powder paperpatched bullets. as suggest a long time ago on this site i tried poly coated aluminum foil. the poly side out toward the bore. two wraps, have to say it worked as good as paper of various types. also saw a you tube vid a long time ago of the same thing and the guy was ringing a small gong at 500 yards. the poly coated aluminum is better than the plain type. possibly not quite as easy to patch a bullet as paper is but it can be learned. just i thought i would mention it for those to research and try if they have a mind to. never know.
