Default Felt wads

Do you think it would hurt to add a total of 2 felt wads? Ive been using 1 in the Apex with the 240g maxi and was just curious what 2 would do.

Won't hurt a thing. Might tighten up your groups - might not. I've used a card wad under a felt wad with good results.

I have had better results using a thicker felt wad than I did with two. I am inclined to believe that a thicher wad centers better than two; of course this is hind sight. Lee

I was going to suggest the same as Semi but he beat me to it.
