Paper Patch 399's in my .416 Rigby
      09/02/12 02:20 PM

Well AFRO408 is a keen caster and Paper Patch Boolit maker and he wanted to see if his designs work at full throttle.

He sent me some paper patched cast projectiles, which (with the paper) averaged 399 grains each. I smeared Lee liquid Alox over the paper and let them sit overnight. Then loaded them into .416 Hornady hulls over 105 grains of AR2213sc (Elmer Keiths .416 Rigby Load). OAL is 3.420.

The cases are well flared but I had trouble getting the projectiles to enter the case with any less of a 'flare'.



Ready to try tomorrow on the range.
