I've never done it myself but it isn't an unusual method when it comes to shooting cast pills.
Hadn't considered using TB in a 32-20! Very interesting. I'm using 2205 behind Redback 115gn coated cast FN pills. Out of my 1892 Winchester this combo works well, but your comment has picqued my interest.
I am planning on shooting cast in several of my 303's also, so will be keen to read more or your pathway to knowledge in this regard.
I have paper-patched other bullets, but I think you would want a smaller-diameter bullet to be able to patch it. I paper patched .243" jacketed bullets up to .270" for the Carcano with decent results.
I have a box of 400 gunnie, that's a lot of patching Just out of interest, what type of paper do you use blade? I like that old school big game hunter look of patched bullets.
