    zimmer liked post by Marty Henry On thread : DIY Fibre wads?
    Card, greased pinex then shot is my version the grease sort of glues the wad together and makes it much easier to load. Pin in the wad and a quick dip in beeswax /lard 1:1 then allow to harden .

    zimmer liked post by StrikerNZ On thread : Learned something today about suppressors.
