You know I never thought of that. I will have to see what I can find and give it a try. Hate to pay for things I can make myself and make it more realistic and save money! hehehehehe

Now question I have, is where is the best place to get a 12 gauge wad cutter? Like Dixie, Possible Shop, eBay?

Thanks again,

Jeff
I had a boy in our local vocational school make wad cutters for 12 & 20 ga for me several years ago.

I have made some myself from hole saws, but it's a time consuming process with basic shop tools. (drill press, grinder, & file)

Got myself some hollow punches on eBay and see how that does with a 3/4 punch!
