Ive heard / read alot of diffrent things. I am curious as to what you use for wads in your black powder cartidges? Thickness? Size? Anything Goes or is it really a science? Ive heard of Playing cards, cereal Boxes, poster board, gasket material, plastic lids, milk cartons, plastic jugs, wax papper. and some may have slipped my mind. One I have never herd of being used is corrogated card board is there a reason why? Could thin leather be used? How about old deninm jeans? I have been wondering about this for awhile, and since the only stupid question is the one you dont ask, Im posing it to you gentleman here.
Hopefully Im not opening a can of worms here. And also Thanks for your help.
Ive been using cereal boxes and just punched a deck of playing cards into wads to try. My home made wad punch is cutting them .465 dia. But I shoot mostly fire formed cases with little neck sizing.
