    Source of Felt for Wads????

    I have been trying to cut (punch) my own wads for use in my ROA, quite successfully except for being able to find a reliable souce for suitable felt. Many of you must have solved this problem, please advise. Much obliged

    I thought of hats, but they're probably getting scarce.

    I have used H-H before ... but they wanted to ship more than I could use & were fairly expensive.

    If you are going to persue - the ask for Grade F1 Hard felt in whatever thickness you are using (density should be around .36g/cm3)- DONT go for anything softer or you will find it compresses too much.

    Cheers
