Recently some one mentioned they were having success in making a substitute for felt wads from paper rag type egg cartons.
At the dump this week I noticed several such cartons in easy reach and considered ripping their tops off to take home.
Then I recalled what the interior of my truck and shop already look like with out someone else's old egg carton lids scattered about, so I left them.
I am interested in thoughts and experiences about using these things.
Do folks cut them out with .45 Colt cases and if so by hammering the case through or mounting the case on a mandrel and using a drill (the way I made wads for .38 SPL/.357 snake shot shells from milk cartons way back)?
Can they be lubed with say the lard, bees wax goo? Should they be lubed?
Anything from experience and well thought out ideas is welcome.
