I am new to breech seating and wondering what kind of over-powder wad to use with a case full of black powder (3f) 25-20 SS

I use 1/16" thick Walters Wads with my 25-20 SS with good results.

I have had good results using .032" & .062" Walters wads in my .25-20 s.s.  However, I am using smokless.  In my .32-40 Pope Ballard  using black powder, I needed a .32 wonder wad behind breech seated bullet for consistent accuracy.  Could feel ctg. Mouth compress wad as action closed.  Tried to find felt .25 cal. wads with no luck.

I don't think he's talking about BS the wad but, capping the powder at the mouth of the case.

Thanks much guys and I have some Walters Wads that should work. I plan to fill the cases with 3f black and park the veggie wad over that. Just wanted to make sure I was on the right track.
