Default RE: Over powder wad or cornmeal?

Almost all of the time for me and a wide varietyof bores,a wad under a PRB or a conical will not only give greater accuracy, but also allow for a heavier powder charge as the wad protects against gas-cutting.

Here is a great link to make your own wads. You need a punch, felt and lube. I use the durofelt.
www.durofelt.com.

Also for lubing your newly cut wads, put them in a shallow bowl and then pour melted bore butter over them then remove after cooling.

Here is a great link for information:
