I have also been using foam wads made per Graeme Wright's method. I got my foam in 1 inch thick sheets at WalMart. I made a plug cutter by sharpening the edge of a piece of 1/2" copper pipe. Chucked in a drill press it will glide right though the foam sheet to cut out a nice 1" foam wad for my .500 BPE.

My friend I referred to above (in regard to the felt wads) also sent me some foam wads he bought from Kynoch. I see no appreciable difference in the Kynoch wads and the ones I cut out of WalMart foam.

In my .500 3" BPE I load 56.0 gr. IMR 4198, 2 - 1" foam wads, 340 grain paper patched or cast and lubed bullet. No problems to report.

Before foam I was using 13 grains of dacron. What a chore weighing it, and what a mess from the snow shower when it goes off.

I do plan to try the felt wads.
