whats the best material to make wads out of? i bought some material today to work with. some of what i got is foam like you see in the big foam #1 hands people have at sporting events. another is like foam poster board, .5" stuff from hobby lobby, and a hard 1/8"ish poster board to try. anyone ever melt wax onto a cotton ball? i am thinking about making a mold out of a shell hull and making some. also, can you use COW or Corn meal as a filler wad? under the shot cup?
