The thin plastic wads you speak of might be what’s called LDPE (
Low-density polyethylene) I make them as well as the Vege Fiber. I have NOT shot a lot of LDPE, But i have Shot Enough to Know that they Can/will Stick as well. I have Shot a LOT of The Vege Fiber. Here is the CRAZY part, I have had some AMAZING outings with the Hard Cards, i have shot Some AWESOME Groups with them, Then go back out with the EXACT same load a Month or so down the Rd to Dial/Sight in and i Couldn’t Shoot a Decent Group to Save me?!! This Drove me NUTS trying to understand What was Going on? I began to suspect The Card Wads were Sticking to the Bullet bases? And SURE Enough they were! But why did i have a Few REALLY Good outings? Obviously they didn’t stick then? I don’t have an Answer to that? But My guess is Lube Viscosity, and Weather Conditions on a Given Day. Example being, Maybe If it is Warmer out they Don’t Stick as Bad? Or Maybe it’s if the Weather is Colder? I didn’t pay attention to that part?
After the Poor, Hit & Miss Luck I’ve had with The Hard Card type Wads, i personally Can’t make myself Trust them anymore with a Grease Groove Bullet, They are WAY to Hit & Miss. They do Work well with my Paper Patch Loads, But so does my 1/8” Wool Felt, They Work just as well with ALL Bullet Types, 1/8” Wool Felt Wins HANDS DOWN, and has YET to Fail me, I HIGHLY Recommend it
I even bought a Fred Cornell Press Mounted Wad Punch way back for HIGH Volume Vege Fiber, and LDPE Wads, I rarely use this Anymore, I stil Haven’t tried this Punch with Wool Felt? I bet it will work, The Cutter/Die Tolerance is TIGHT, I need to Try some Wool Felt
I can Crank out a Pile of Wads in a Hurry with this Setup (If Only that was ALL Wool Felt
)
These .060 LDPE Wads sure Create a Nice Seal, EXCELLENT Behind a Dry Paper Patch Bullet, or Jacketed Sabotless
Anything But a Grease Groove Bullet
