Cutting Wads

[Wild Ed]

I thought I would let you guys know that I found a 9 piece hollow puch wad set at Harbor freight for $9.99 it will cover up to about .50 caliber.  It had two that one will fit my .31 and one will fit my .36 revolvers so I am excited.  Here is the link for online if you do not have a Harbor freight near you.  http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=3838

If anyone finds a deal on a punch that will fit my 12 gauge pedersoli shotgun please send me a message.  Thanks, ET

They also have another set that goes bigger thats for cutting gaskets and it goes up to 1-1/2" IIRC.

I bought the set that goes up to about 1/2".  I thought I might be able to cut .32 caliber and .40 caliber patches with them.  The 1/2" punch needed some sharpening but I think it will work okay once I get a good edge on it.  The smaller sizes seem to work well on tooling leather.  I'll have to check out the set that goes up to 1-1/2".  Thanks for the heads up.

Just need to be sure and use a pine board or heavy rubber mad uner the material . I used a hard nylon type cuttin board and one of the punches split ! They are pretty hard !
