Thread: DIY Fibre wads?

Just a quick drain-dump of what I think I know:
Old wool felt jackets and hats can be found at op-shops and normally come 1/8" - 3/8" think And a good coat will last quite a while!
My lube is a mixture of beeswax, parrafin and lamb or beef tallow, melted in a tray, dip your wads, squeeze excess and lay them out on baking paper to dry, keep them in a ziploc bag in a cool dry place.
Wad punches of any specific size are easily made on a lathe out of any hardened bolt or axle shaft.
Wad diameter will depend on your HULLS. From memory the magtechs require an 10gauge card wads and 11gauge cushion wads.
Fibre wads tend to work better in older guns with short forcing cones ahead the chambers The new long cones are more suited to plastic wads.
