I use this craft punch 3/4 for my 12 gauge shotgun. I have one of those steel smack with a hammer for felt, but found this cuts faster and cereal boxs beer boxes....... cuts fine with this craft punch.

You're going to laugh. Amazon. Normally used for the scrap book crowd. I have a couple orginally i used for paper cartridge for my revolvers. I have different sizes for that. Even a 1 inch for making paper cartride for a modern muzzloading shotgun pistol from American gun craft. Ive got on a smoothbore kick.

I scoured and read brittsmoothy replies and helped a ton in the smoothbore threads. I've had best results so far 70 grains powder 3-4 of my over shot cards in top of powder 1 1/8 oz shot then 2 cards on top. Hasn't mattered much if using #8 shot or #5 shot. That only size i have. I need to do more work though with my round ball loads.

Now i want a flinter smoothbore


Lets us know how your journey goes.

I purchased three of these for sealing off the end of paper cartridges and they work very well. I never tried to punch out any thin cardboard cereal boxes. I got to give it a try - thanks for the tip.

Just ordered the highest rated and reasonably priced ones off amazon. I use 3/4 inch for my 12 gauge shotgun but before that used that size for making the bottom of my 44 paper cartriges. I have two others one for cutting the disks for my .36 caliber paper cartriges. Check amazon

Have you tried to cut cloth patches with it? If so how'd they turn out?

I use a #11 Osbourne punch for my 20 bore. A set of the punches from Harbor Freight is pretty cheap. I use heavy poster board for my guns.
