Made up some bore gophers for 40 and 45cal from McMaster Carr components, dewey brushes, and vfg wool pellets but can't seem to find rubber washers that look to be the right diameter to make some up for my 38-55 high wall for bp shooting.  Anyone made these for 38-55 and have a source, part #, etc.   thanks and Merry Christmas to all

I just used regular 3/8” flat washers from Lowe’s.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Might take a look at faucet washers in the plumbing department. They come in many sizes and are cheap.

I. too, would have suggested faucet washers, except that I don't see them much nowadays.  Apparently most faucets made in the last 40 years either don't use them or aren't meant to allow replacing them.
