Cardboard wads

[CRB255]

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried cutting cardboard discs out of cereal boxes to use between powder and bullet or PRB?

I use these for wadding in smoothbores. Cereal Boxes, soda case material…as long as the paper is heavy and dense it works.

So you just use a punch the same size as the bore?

You'll want them slightly oversized. They should fit tight.

I prefer felt lubed with lanolin or crisco.

Greg Y is offering great advise…I use an Arch Punch that cuts out cards that are slightly oversized compared to my bore. Nice snug fit

Saturated in the warmed liquid or smeared on?

Warm it up and let it soak in.

I use the felt in these vids.
