What i did was make the shims from shim stock purchased at our local ACE hardware. The piece i used was 0.005" thick. Included in the package were other thicknesses. First step was to make a disc using what we always called a leather punch; then a smaller punch was used to make the shims. For my Accura, i used 4 shim, for a total of 0.020" reduction of head space. This allowed me to use STS primer, which underwent a slight crush when the action was snapped shut. This made for zero blow by, and fired primer that looked new.
Seems to me i read quite some time ago that Russel at MAX Muzzleloader was going to find some one to make them, and then sell them on his site.
