paper patch information

[ad5pu]

I am looking for information about using paper-patches
in rifle cartridges. Many yearsago I had the information
from one of the reloading magazines.

Paper type and thickness needed to be measured and rolled
from wet paper then twisted, if I remember correctly.
Probably a cotton or linen paper..

Did I msis this thread somewhere?

Thanks for the assistance. 30/30 and 6.5 swiss
and who knows maybe the 44 carrybeen.....

Here's an excellent article on making PP cartridges:

I have no experience with PPBs, but it sure looks fun/interesting!

If I recall correctly

NRA's book "Cast Bullet Manual" has a whole chapter on making paper-patched ammo. Lots of other good stuff in there too.
