In many cases the bullets were specific to paper patching in that they had smooth sides with no lube grooves.
I tried paper patching some 45/70 bullets with the normal lube grooves and found it to be difficult and non-productive. I made enough to know it was something I did not wish to pursue. The ones I did complete did not shoot any better or worse than the standard lubed bullet.
