	I have had good luck with commen cardboard (not the corrugated stuff), like used to come when you bought a new shirt. I made a punch out of steel tubing and sharpened it. I also hardened it (heated it red, quenched it in water, re-heated blue quenched in oil)

	Ballards are best!

	This is quite cool. I just called him up. He sends out the wads that day with an invoice. What service from John Walters!

	Because I like to control everything I can and not worry about my source drying up, I use a press-mounted punch and cut them out of washed milk or juice cartons. SS

	If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.

	My good buddy Dale53 has a great press mounted unit for the 32 rifles, and every so often when I'm visiting I take a roll of gasket material and punch out a Brazilian (that's only a few less than a bajillion) to last me a couple of years... I actually like to use cork gasket material a little better than the fiber type. Froggie
