I spent $18 for the felt and $10.70 for the hollow punch, for a total of $28.70. I can get anywhere from 1,500 to 1,700 wads from that piece of felt, depending on caliber (having the option of punching wads for my .32, .50, and .54 caliber guns).

For about the same amount, $30.71, I could have gotten 400 Ox-Yoke 44/45 caliber dry felt wads from Track of the Wolf ($6.19 per hundred plus $5.95 shipping). http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Catego.../1/OX-WAD-44-D
Certainly, four hundred would last me a long time.

So I might be saving a few bucks, but it won't make me rich. It took me fifteen minutes to punch out 200 wads today.
