I'm about to embark on a project to work up hunting and target loads for my nephew's Shiloh Sharps chambered in 45-70. Years ago I had a C. Sharps and used some of Mr. Matthews books to assist me, but never even thought of paperpatching back then. I do use paperpatching for my muzzleloaders with great success so now want to look at it for cartridge as well... I know that there is a difference and I have been reading on this forum and the internet about using this technique in black powder cartridge loading. My question is one of those "opinion" questions. Is the information available on this forum about paperpatching presented in enough detail to cover my needs better than Paul Matthews book on the subject? Do I need both... there probably no real right or wrong answer on this... I was just curious to ask those of you who paper patch successfully and have used both resources... thank you for reading and thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts.
Kindest regards,
