I'm in the process of working up a load for my .54 Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken with 1:66 twist... I am trying to use the Dutch Schoultz method and have stumbled trying to find the right thickness of material for the patches... Thanks to Idahoron I have had great success in paperpatching conicals in my fast twist 45's and 50's and I had the thought of a straight paperpatched roundball.... I think somewhere in the info from Dutch someone mentioned putting layers of cigarette papers between a too thin patch and the roundball until you get the best accuracy... then measure the compressed thickness of the paper and patch combo to get the ideal patch thickness.... but, what about just paper??? Anyone tried it?

Thanks for looking,
