If you like, I can swage paper patch bullets of any weight that, depending on the paper, can be wrapped to .366 or more. I use these at 190gr in my Leeson single shot and it seems to like them. Alternately, this would hold true for any .358” cast bullet.
I need to try again with patching my .358" lead 170 grain bullets (of which I have a ton). When I did this earlier this week, using credit card receipt paper, the patches are neat and tight, but the resulting bullet is too large (0.370?) as I wasn't very scientific about the length of my patches. I'll have to re-read Curl's document on patching and actually calculate what I need. That said, receipt paper gives a really tight and neat patch!
If I can't get those smaller bullets to go, I'll look to source larger diameter (and heavier) lead pills to try naked or patched.
