I have Remington rolling block .43 Spanish. I slugged the bore and it measures .439 . All I can find in that diameter is paper patch bullets from Montanna Precision. 2 questions: 1) Does anyone make a lubed bullet in that diameter? 2) How do you load a paper patched bullet? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

paper patch usually are shot at the lower end of jacketed velocities. finding cast bullets for sale a that diameter aren't gonna be easy. you might try bullshop in alaska or one of the smaller custom outfits. you say your bbl slugs at this size, will a 440 sozed bullet chamber? | |||

.440 bullets will chamber. I have been told that is what I should shoot. Do you agree? I can get paper patched .439's but have never loaded one. Where do you get the paper to patch with and how do you put them together? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Doc Easter, You are getting into a specialty that is best found at a different forum. The paper is usually specified to be 100% cotton rag. You might raise this question over at BPCR.net or at the ASSR forum. I am only slightly familiar with it so I will restrict my effort to finding you a reference. Paper patching Paul Matthews has written on the subject some You might try his book The Paper Jacket. Paper Patching at the Cast Bullet Association Way too much about paper If you are persistent in cruising the internet for cast bullets you will find several sources of cast bullets for the .43 Spanish. | |||
