13 Gauge Wad Punch

[swathdiver]

Would a 3/4" punch from C. S. Osborne or Harbor Freight work or would that be too tight?

I'll be using Durofelt FM1836H, same stuff we use in our sixguns which is 1/8" hard pure wool felt.

For felt, quite possibly.

Flintlocks, Inc. sells almost any size wads and very reasonably. They haven't had a web site in the past, a search might find them. Nice folks. Might be easier and cheaper to buy theirs instead of making your own. They used to have small trial packs of wads for odd sizes.

There's only one way to be sure......try it.

I reckon so Clyde.

RJ: Didn't see any wool felt wads on their website but Ox-Yoke/RMC has the popular sizes.

Don't even know if this scatter gun or me is going to like them, just wanted to make up a couple dozen, lube some, keep others dry while working up loads.

The C. S. Osborne 3/4" punches aren't too expensive on the auction sites...

Thanks fellas!

Rifleman1776: Just found Flintlocks new website! Will give them a call. Thanks!
