I didn't want to hijack Kirrmeister's thread, so thought I would start a new one here.
I'm interested in playing with overpowder wads for my 54-cal percussion to see if I can tighten groups up a bit. I'm curious to hear more about what others are using.
I looked at Track's site and found where they have the kinds of wads others have told me to look for. But they only go up to 50-cal. I assume 28-ga. wads would work for me since that's .55" (pretty close to .54"). But they don't list the thin (.062") vegetable fiber wads. They only list the thicker .5" fiber wads.
Is it ok to use a wad that thick in a rifle? Is that the sort of thing that I should be looking at using?
For those who use overpowder wads is there a thickness that seems to work best?
Thanks,
Ben
