Wads?

[Gunlaker]

My copy of Perry's book just arrived today. I'll start reading it tonight. I suspect, but don't know, that wads are a good idea. I have a tight necked (.474") 45-70 that is not too picky about wads. It's certainly less sensitive than my rifles with modern chambers. I have recovered a number of LDPE wads and they are always imprinted with the fold marks from the paper ( mine are wet patched in much the same way that I've seen in Kenny's and Dan T's pictures ). Those marks are probably better to have on the wad tan on the bullet I expect. But I can't prove that of course.

Chris.
