Homemade alternative for slug wads

[mic]

I use cork floor tiles.

The best hard card material I've found is those plastic promotional "license plates" that car dealers put on unsold cars. It's a high density polystyrene, punches beautifully, is thin, light, stiff, and can be gotten for free if you just ask at your local car dealer.

When I worked at HD we called them slip sheets, came with many products. I gave one away to a customer once who was looking for something to put under a rabbit cage. on a guess they are 20 mil, thick enough to be stiff but a third as thick as a postcard.

Punching out the center of bottled water caps make's an overshot card that works well for me. Gp

This works pretty good. Saw it in a yootoob vid.
Spin hole saw in drill press, use angle grinder to remove teeth.
Sharpen outside only with file, etc. Then use it in the drill press
(spinning) to punch cardboard.
Use a scrap piece of wood under the cardboard.

Easy to punch but they kinda get stuck in the thing, use a screwdriver
in the slot to push 'em out. I polished inside the hole saw with sandpaper
on a stick. Just the right size for 12ga.

I have been thinking of this. I have a few old and worn out 22mm hole saws thank you for posting this up.
