Yes - however many shooters now "favour" what is sold as "Vegetable Fiber Wads".

A shooter whom I respect a great deal has found & relayed to me that many of these "Vegetable Fiber Wads" had lettering, or parts of lettering on them and if you put the puzzle together, you find the lettering that is on the back side of ordinary automotive gasket material. Due to it's nature, it would make an excellent wad. It should be a tight fit in the ctg. case's neck.

I've always had my best results with monopoly board material - but I do confess - I've not use the "Vegetable Fiber Wads" myself.

We've made our own wad punches using sections of old rifle barrel and turning them on the lathe. An arch punch set will have many useable sizes for different calibre rifles.

Just checked out the cost of pre cut Vegetable Fibre Wads here in Australia, nearly $50 a 1000. I will be looking for Gasket Material and a Hole Punch. Thanks for the advise
