Nice! Thanks for sharing! I’ve been interested in a paper patch shooting gun, along with a smoothbore that I think this idea would work nicely for.

Unless I missed something you can't paper patch bullets with papier machet.

Of course not, but one would probably benefit from a lube so either making these thick or loading a few that were soaked in lube sounds like a nice thing to start with to see how it performs vs the felt I have.
