I might have shown this before? In case I haven’t, here is the difference i have found in Hard Card (Vege Fibre) vs Wool felt. In my testing i have found Wool felt to be FAR superior to Hard Card type OP Wads when used with Grease Groove bullets
This is only 50 Yards, but as you can see there is a HUGE difference in accuracy. If i could choose only 1 OP Wad material it would definitely be Wool felt. With my Paper Patched bullets I don’t see this kind of difference, Only with GG (Greased) bullets. My theory is the Hard card is sticking to the lubed bullet base after exiting from melted lube? Not sure how far they ride, i cant remember finding them? If my hunch is correct this would cause the bullet to steer wrong/differently each time
.060 Hard Card (Vege Fibre)
And 1/8” Wool Felt, Oxyoke brand (store bought)
