    Did you find lubed wads pattern better?
    I was contemplating using a lube cookie to add to the stack height rather than lubing the wads themselves, I suppose its more down to each gun,
    I don't have a lathe, atleast not yet lol
    magtech does indeed require 11 gauge wads and 10 gauge overshots, but I cant seem to find magtech brass in 12 gauge anywhere at the moment so will be using AA and cheddite hulls, which for what its worth will also require 2 separate sizes of wads, the AA's should be .710" but the cheddites look like they'll be .750" or so.

    Im using a magura SxS, not really sure on age so will just experiment a bit, although I do have grandad old shotgun from sometime around 1890-1905 if im remembering the proof marks correctly, although the bores are a bit shot, the solution will be another lathe job though.

    @Oldbloke, how would you compare cardboard boxes to fibre or cork any noticeable difference?
