Used two types a onion skin at about .001 three wraps and a heaver rag at .005 two wraps. The onion skin was at I think .462 and the other much larger. But they seem to size well. The paper patching I have done before I did not size and i only lubed lightly with a bees wax lard mix that worked well. Yup dipped patch in water wraped on the bullet and twisted the tail cut it and push tail on the bullet on table and gave it another twist to flatten the twisted paper on the bottom of the bullet
