I was wondering where folks are getting their wad puches for those bores over .50???
I've made a few over the years, but I no longer have a lathe or a mill for this purpose, and all the "pipe" I'm finding is nowhere even close to a good ID for this purpose.
Paying $30+ each is a little steep for my blood.
I have several from Harbor Freight that only cost a couple bucks each, and are a great buy for my use, but the biggest I've found is .50....anyone know of a different source, with larger punches?
In particular, I'm looking for something in the neighborhood of .668 / .669 / .670.....for my smoothe bore, and .545 for my plains rifle.
