.3mm does not have enough stopping power.
Move up to a heavier caliber .5mm or .7mm or go home.
Well, look at that. I have just been educated on lead. I buy .5 and .7mm. I didn't even really think there were other leads for mechanical pencils. I know artists use different pencils for different shading but never really thought about it... hmmmmm
On the other hand... You collect mechanical pencils... Never would have guessed.
Ah, the nerds come out on Thursday afternoon!
If I must use a pencil, I have a 0.3 Koh-I-Noor. I've had it forever. In college I could get double the notes on one page. Now I keep pencils in the cabinet with my VCR, cassette deck, checkbook, and 1911.
For the record, I have never nor will I ever use a pocket protector!
