Thanks to each of you who have been kind enough to post detailed instructions on making felt wads. You have gone to great lengths to help others. I shoot Ruger Old Armies which you may recall take .457 inch round ball. Could a .500 inch punch be used to produce a wad that's .043 inch larger than the ball instead of opening up a smaller punch to closer approximate the .457 diameter? I'm wondering if the extra .043 inch would help in sealing the chamber better. And then again I may be missing something important to safety or something. I would pre-lube the wad I should add. Thank you in advance for responses. Don
