10 reasons paperpatch is better

Post by bryany »

You have somewhere to write the load data

You can use different colored paper depending on the holiday

None of those distracting grooves to disturb the airflow

You can identify other PP users by sight, no need for a secret handshake

Endless discussion about your ammo instead of shooting it

No confusion on which end of the bullet goes into the case

People don't make fun of you for spending all day discussing stationairy (that you know of)

Because you want your ammunition to be historically correct in your plastic MTM case

When the paper fragments catch fire down range, you are half way to a good barbecue

Diapered bullets just look cool

And #11 when you shoot good scores it cause's lots of profits for the drug companies due to the amount of headache pills sold to greaser guys. :lol:

But the writing data on the patch thing don't work good if you treat the exposed patch with jojoba oil or such. :oops:

Awww....this is so rich! Leave it to Bryan to have a jocular moment, however brief it may have been. :D I know he could have easily tripled the number of qualifying characteristics. He reminds us that in genuine jest there is truth. 8) 8) 8)

well if you are going to put yourself off the podium by using a 40/2.5, why not really nail the lid on the coffin by using pp. :?: :wink:

40 70 SS and 65 grains with a (wait for it) PP bullet!

Bryany, you forgot: Because every moment on the firing line is like a holiday because of all the confetti the PP shooters throw up everytime they pull the trigger.

Yeah, if it just weren't for all those pesky national wins and records that keep happening with greasers, although there is little question they are just plain homely compared to the sleek and clean looking pp bullets.
