    Ok, just looked at it and they are not as deep as I remembered. They just are not cut lifts like they do in center fire rifles. So a Veg card should be fine then?

    How about just punching out beer boxes, I get tired of burning all of them.

    that would be ok but have several of them to equal 60 thousands thick to put under the bullet.

    FWIW, 60 thousandths is right at 1/16" (.0625").

    I just went through this with a T/C Cherokee, .45. Patched balls wouldn't group but when a wool wad went in over the powder, it tightened right up.

    The wasp/ hornet nest trick is from WAY back BUT it WORKS. Ask me how I know. Wasp nests are not safe around me. I collect every one I find and use it in my .45, .50, and also in my rb shooter .32.
