I'm glad to see people are getting good use out of my article.

I haven't checked in regularly to this forum, so I missed the several posts above. I wasn't "not replying" for any reason other than sloth. Fortunately, Daryl has carried the freight for me with excellent answers.

Teflon? I've heard of people trying it but have never tried it myself. Your technique would be much difference because of how thin it is. I would think you would want your bullet at or close to groove diameter. Just a guess as I've not used it. Somebody try it and give a report.

My greatest heresy is to use the Ranier swaged and copper plated .500 bullets in my .500 BPE. These are 335 grains (just about perfect weight) and .500" diameter (just about perfect diameter). I patch them up to .515" using 20 lb., 25% cotton bond. They shoot perfectly in my two Purdeys.
