BPCR Primer Wads Test Results

[TexasMac]

Wayne-I use a BACO punch that screws into your reloading press like a die does.
I have found with the white CF paper, if you fold the CF paper over to where you punch about a dozen wads at a time. You get really good results.
I'm going to get some of the brown CF filters and give'em a try.
Thx Wayne for your time in test'n this.

Gary,

I have the same bench mounted punches. I could use the .40 caliber punch when loading .45-70 but the .40 cal punch is too large to punch out under powder wads for my .40-65. It works great for over-powder wads but I want to be able to drop the under-powder wad in to the case and let it flutter down to the bottim, not having to shove it down with a dowel. I have a cheap plier-type hand punch that works great on the brown CF filters. I can punch out a years worth in a few minutes.

By the way, when punching several layers at one time with the bench mounted punch or even with my hand punch, the layers tend to stick together & are a pain to separate since they are so thin and flexible.
