Semolina as a filling

Thanks for info on cork sheeting.My range won't allow wad cutters only round balls or rounded conical I don't know why before my time at this club I'll bear in mind your advice as I stumble along this new path in are hobby thank you for advise best regards Frank

You are confusing wad cutters for cutting felt wads and wadcutter bullets. Wadcutter bullets cut holes in linotex wheras nonwadcutters should cause less damage allowing the self sealing properties of the linotex to take effect.

As Mr Coal notes above, you are confungling a wad cutter - see https://www.peterdyson.co.uk/acatalog/D3438.JPG - a small tool that you place on your wad material [felt, card, WYW] and hit with a hammer or mallet, producing a round wad, and a wadcutter bullet. This is shaped with a perfectly circular and flat nose, looking rather like a tin of beans, and is specifically designed to cut a well-defined circular hole in the target [and Linotex, too, sadly].

Google each, like I did, to see the difference.

Thanks tac fully understand what a blonker I am must be my brain retiring to wad cutter of course I even have one and my own wool felt for some reason I thought they were called a felt punch still all new to me and yet again the site members have put me on the right track again thanks for your post from Frank

Home made felt punch/wad cutter. put in a drill press with the depth set to not go right through by .5mm ish. slow speed and a smeer of olive oil on the cork helps with very neat wads up to 6mm thick.
Cut a row then pop out.work with about 8" square at a time as the cork is usually curved from packing
