get some bubble gum and toilet paper, chew the gum until soft, paste gum on a small cal.head with gum and apply the paper. when it reaches the right dia. stop.

Actually you will find a lot of information on Paper patching on the Sharps Shiloh forum. People do do it.

I have been temped to try it but havent been able to find .456 diameter bullets for my .45-70. I currently use .458 dia bullets, and it would cause cambering issues if paper patched or so I believe. I havent tried it..

The bullet should be no larger than land diameter, i.e. .450" for a .45 (.458 groove and bullet) caliber rifle. You make two wraps, so that the joint is over an other layer of paper. The paper should be a good quality linen or onion skin paper.
I have had good success using a .44 caliber (.431") caliber lead bullet in an 11mm (.445" groove) Werndl. Also with 7mm jacketed bullets (.284") for the 7.35mm (.301") Carcano, before bullets for that one became available. Tedious, and finding the right thickness paper isn't always easy; you may have to make three wraps. Also, your dies must be dimensioned to allow finger seating of the bullet, with later crimping. Definitely not a mass production process.
