    Need shotgun wads

    Does anyone have a "sample pack" of 12ga shotgun wads that I can load up some BP brass shotshells with? I missed a real good deal on E-bay earlier in the week for brass shotshell wads. Thanx.

    3/4" punch should do the job. Celotex siding, or just regular poster board from walmart.

    For brass hulls you'd be better off using 11ga wads from Circle Fly. The brass walls are thinner and you will get some gas blowby if you use 12 ga wads.

    Might check the bargain barn at your local Cabelas last I checked the one in KC has a sample pack from BPI but in 20ga. I would agree with Hellgate that 11ga wads from Circle Fly would be best. Fortunately wads are fairly cheap and you can actually get by with only one type of wad but I would recommend all three.
