    New Wad punch tool...pretty cool

    Here is a pretty cool wad punching tool a guy up in Canada is producing.. looks like an oversized Gas Check Maker... punches all sorts of materiel...



    Just thought some of you BP folks might like this... and and roll crimper types could also find this useful.. I like the idea of having a full bore version, which he does make...

    Is the guy making them to sell? How do I get in touch with him?

    I made a similar tool for punching felt wads for bp revolvers several years ago. The only difference was my punch was cut off square without the counterbore and knife edge. The knife edge probably isn't needed as the material is sheared and not cut.

    This might make sense.

    I just bought a 250 pcs bag of 20 gauge felt wads for 43 euros plus shipping. A 250 box of factory trap ammo costs about 50 euros... so adding a felt to my "economy slugs" pretty much doubles the cost per round.

    $90/95 each plus shipping seems steep until you look at the cost of commercial wads. 1/2 inch capacity for both the full size and overshot dies, apparently the difference is the diameter. I can see these in my RCBS press cranking out a box of wads in minimal time.

    BB: I do love my reloading gadgets! If I took in to account just how many wads I could buy for the price of getting set up with these in three gauges. Well, I'm not sure I have enough years left to make it work out. It does look like a very nice tool. If I come by some easy money (Hasn't happened yet. LOL) I 'll start with the 12ga. combo set. Gp

    That is likely in Canadian dollars though, so with the Canadian / US exchange right now it will be a lot less for you folks "down South" ...

    It makes perfect sense if you use a lot of cardboard, foam, or other free material. I'm not seeing cork for cheap enough to justify cutting your own, maybe if you manage to grab scraps from a carpenter?
