The .307 unpatched ones will likely do just fine, something to hope for as I just managed not to slice my fingers with the craft knife doing those thirty. Even if my job was minimum wage it would not be worth all this fiddling to make cheaper bullets... but it's the fun.

Just realised... I forgot to weigh them all first. Drat!!!

@Cordite Shit thats a smart idea for pp bullets, I piss around with parallelograms cut from copier paper dampened then wrapped tightly round the bullet so they shrink tight when dry. Fiddly as phuq and a moderatly high fail rate but they do work fine in my 1896 no 1 mk1. Let us know how they go
