Forum member, and Good Friend of Mine Harleysboss sent me his Accurate Bullet Mold he had made for his .45 LRH so that i could pour up a Bunch and Test them. Both are nice looking bullets, Especially the Grease Groove :yeah: I am leaning farther and farther away from Paper Patch. I shoot a literal TON and just don’t see any advantages, WAY more negatives when compared to a Good Grease Groove design.
This is 80-85 Yards
Both bullets weigh 350 Grains, here is the Paper Patch bullet
First 3 shots with Paper Patched and Hard Card OP Wad
I decided to shoot the Last 3 shots with a Wool OP Wad (Glad i did that!) Same Target
Here is the Grease Groove, AWESOME little bullet!! :yeah: My 40-1 Alloy Lubed and sized to .451.75-.452 They load good and snug from start to finish, these bullets dont break down halfway down the bore and become loose, they hold good n TIGHT! Interior groove vs Exterior, Interior Groove the Bearing surface in contact with the bore is the bullet itself, instead of just the bands like the Exterior, I’m sure there is a proper name for it?
