In reading comments on numerous threads , there seems to be two distinct camps when deciding whether to use cast boolits that are equal to the “land to land” measurement, or “groove to groove”, and frequently someone will mention that the “Italian” reproductions have historically long leads that may influence this decision.
My intention is to paper patch boolits for my Pedersoli Long range Creedmoor 30 and I would be ever so interested in hearing from Shooters of the Pedersoli Rolling Block on your practices, experiences and results. After slugging your barrels, are you patching to groove or lands measurements, or over or just under one of those measurements? I’ve read where the grove measurement is .458, and they PP to .459 or .460. Since I have never done Cast Cartridge reloading this is all foreign to me.
