Good pictures - too bad a brown, bear rug couldn't have been in the background, somehow. I do like to see a cluttered bench - makes me feel at home.

I hadn't thought of the foam coils as a single-piece wad - good thinking - so simple and easy.

Do you put a card on the powder beneath this foam, or foam directly on the powder? Does the powder flame against unprotected foam melt it and coat the bore with 'something'.

Would not a hard card (meant to protect the foam from powder flame) not compress and produce a compressed air space behind the bullet, just as if the foam wasn't there - but of reduced volume, of course?
