Hi from Germany ,
I´m currently experimenting with PP-bullets in my 1895 Marlin and until now I had some interesting results , i.e.
no more leading at all ( I´m using soft lead , 3% tin only ),
and relatively tight groups ( 2in. at 100m ) . But strangely I get better results with patched grooved bullets than with smoothsided special PP-bullets . Does anybody have experience with paper patched bullets especially in 45-70 Gov. ?
