OP Wad for .54 GPR

[Eric M]

I am thinking about ordering OP wads to use under my prb. Are they worth getting? What would be the benefit of using them?

If you have a problem you're trying to solve...like marginal almost patch failures from too thin of a patch and you can't / don't want to go to a thicker patch, an Oxyoke OP wad will act as a firewall and solve that.

If you like using a wet / liquid sort of a lube, but don't want that patch sitting directly on the powder for a long period of time, an Oxyoke OP wad will protect the powder from the wet lube;

Prelubed Oxyoke OP wads add more lube into a bore, usually not a bad thing;

For me in chrono tests with and without Oxyoke wads, my shot-to-shot standard diviation dropped from 25fps to only 6fps when I used the wads, which usually translates into an eyelash of improved accuracy.

When I experimented with Oxyoke OP wads under some lead conicals, they tightend groups and prevented leading from hot powder charges;

Those are some of the personal experiences I've had with them over the years...but you'll just need to decide if any of them are 'worth' fooling with Oxyoke OP wads or not.

I use them on my 40,36,32 cal like RB says it helps with SD but also in these smaller calibers it helps with fowling,and I can use a thinner patch which helps for faster reloading when the "tree bacon" shooting becomes fast :rotf:
