    over powder cards

    Normally, or so it would seem, we punch these cards from cereal boxes or similar.

    Is there a reason, or can we, cut these from corrugated cardboard? I always, while following the wife around the store look for cardboard that might serve the purpose. But always just find corrugated stuff.

    Taylor, its a good practice following the wife around I'm sure she love the attention she gets.
    When was the last time you gave her flowers ?

    The corrugated stuff is good for in between as filler cards but not over powder as that's where you need a good over powder wad.
    The cereal box card will do good as over shot cards when roll crimping.

    Have fun while you are following your wife, I smiled reading your comments you do the same ! !

    Go to the hobby store & find the foam pads they have different thicknesses & colors

    I sharpened a piece of 1/2" pump pipe with a hole to punch em out. clamp it in a vice & smack it with a rubber mallet.

    I use the hollow punches from Harbor Freight. Turn them down to a 3/8 shank and in the drill press it goes.

    I was looking at those the other day. Punched some out from a "vote for me" sign. A lot of material available. One just has to make up his mind which.

    All I want is to raise my wad column.

    Greetings Taylor, I'm sorry I failed in my desire to bring about those Super Blazing Sabots after spending a lot of money in multi cavity molds trying do it right but failed as our load pressures were way too high for my version of High Power Nitro Express loads.

    I can still send you hopefully a box of 20 gauge sabots along with the OP Wads. The post office has raised the prices of $5 box now around 10.
    Send me $10 and I'll put together a box for you.
    In the past I did send the sabots along with OP wads, nitro cards, bullets, Black felt wads, my favorite shooting Targets and 2 Super Blazing Sabots to help my friends ! !
    Times were different then and I enjoyed doing it ! !

    Best regards,
    Ajay K. Madan
