I want to shoot some shot out of a musket and I'm have researched what all the different wads are for and how they help increase accuracy in a black powder shotgun but I still have a few questions about them.
With dry cushion wads I was wondering what I should use to lube these. I was thinking of lubing them with some form of pan lube I can make that would work about the same as the wonderwads in pistols but these cushion wads are made out of a different material and are much thicker so I don't know if that would work. So what lube should I use (handmade or purchased) for the cushion wads.
On Track of the Wolf they sell both nonlubricated and lubricated cushion wads. Which would be the preferred way to go? Would it be cheaper to buy the non lubricated and do it yourself. Does it not help to get the lubricated if your going to open them up and over time they would dry out?
Thanks for the help.
