Felt wads

[Mike in FL]

I used to use felt wads before I went to leather (I have a large supply of free leather to work with). I liked the results.

Do you lube the leather?

Iwas wondering what kind of success you guys that use the wonder wad style felt for op or cushion wads .Ive been thinking of giving them a try and thought I’d ask you gents who have more experience than myself.thankyou in advance. Walt

Get a punch and making you own wads will cut your cost per shot by a third.
Use a cooking oil/beeswax mix for lube melt the lube and dip each wad in the mix very briefly using a pair of tweezers. Lay each wad aide on some crinkled up aluminum oil to cool off. Squeeze out any excess.
The process is simpler than it sounds once you get the process down.
Will you save you money, and you can use better grease than most that you can buy made up will have.
