I suppose you have good reasons to want to measure your wadding to such a level of precision. I have a good machine shop, with a decent selection of very good measuring tools. If you want to PM me for the address, You can send me an envelope of samples, I would be glad to measure and mark them, and send them back.

On the other hand, I have a piece of mattress ticking that I have been cutting patches from for two decades. Every once and a while, I use a round punch, and cut a few hundred of them. I stick them in a plastic bag with some mink oil paste.

For me at least, what matters is consistency. If I always use patches that are as identical as possible, and load them the same way, I tend to shoot tight groups. The same principle is best for reloading smokeless cartridges.
