Re: My "New" 20 Gauge Rifle Rolling Block

I found with "lube cookies" that Paul Mathews was correct in his writings concerning them in "The Paper Jacket", "40 years with the .45/70", as well as "Loading the Black Powder Cartridges", that to be fully effective, the powder flame must have access to the lube wad.

Thus, in the first book mentioned, he suggested using a wax paper disk to separate the powder from the lube when loaded into the case.

This is the method I used.

In the third book noted, he switched to "Bee Brood Foundation", a beeswax disk with hexagonal 'starts' to separate the powder from the lube disk.

I may get around to trying these, this summer.
