Between powder and conical base?

[James Beardsley]

What do you use?

 

[Johnny Tremain]

Veggie wad, you can makem or buyem at Buffalo Arms.
I make my own.
This is a trick for other types of firearms. The powder never touches the projectile.

I use leather overpowder wads I cut from leather scraps with a punch,

 

[teflonhunter]

The pre lubed wads.

 

[Red Owl]

Nothing

I use leather overpowder wads I cut from leather scraps with a punch,

Nothing

I also dont use anything but would try it if i was having accuracy or leading issues. The only conical im currently using is the hornady pa conical which shoots great for me sitting right on the powder

 

[longcruise]

Never used anything. Never tried anything so I don't advocate nothing

 

[James Beardsley]

Anyone ever tried wasp nest? Vacant of course.

What do you use?

Nothing but what suits my weapons. I use many more patched round bullets than anything else, which doesn't stop me from using compressible bullets and Minié bullets...
Look at your/s arms in terms of twist rate, caliber, deep groves or not, etc. Round balls or conical bullets are things that don't mean anything out of one context......

James, I use a variety of different wads for conicals. Most often I use the veggie fiber wads from Buffalo Arms Company but I do use some oversized wool felt wads as well most often with hollow based conicals like the paper patched types. I generally don’t use lubricants on or in the wads. Bullets Carry lube just fine. If I’m shooting paper patched I’m swabbing between shots so lubes are wasted there.

i have a punch and i cut out cards made of paper milk carton. this works for me, but i would urge you to check out a few options and see which one works best for you...

be methodical, and only change one variable at at time, and take notes.

best of luck!

What do you use?

Dura Felt wad dry or lubed /Ed

 

[smokepolehall]

Depends on which rifle i am using at the time. I use veggy wads n dry wool wads. Some times no wad does anything for the accuracy & my prb is great.

What do you use?

For a hollow based bullet such as the Minie, nothing.
For a flat based bullet such as used in my long range match rifles, a plain card wad.
