Man that's easy!!!
Banged out some pistol wads last night. Really easy when you have the right tools and materials!
Tools and materials used:
Battery powered electric drill set on lowest speed.
Hollow Punch Set - 7/16 inch bit from Harbor Freight - Item# 67030

1/8" Off-White Hard Felt material for WADS - Item # FM18H-1

Cheap cutting board bought at Walmart for this purpose for under $3.00.
As you can see in the 2nd picture, the 7/16 inch punch is perfect for .44 cal Cap & Ball revolvers.
Note I started with another 7/16 inch punch that requires a hammer. The Drill bit type of punch is way easier and way faster.
Next up will be lube. Couldn't find tallow or suet so will try a batch using Crisco, Bees Wax, and Paraffin Wax.
