Not sure about postage?

Anyone seen any in the UK?

I make my own then I know exactly what I am getting and using, also if lubing then you have control of that as well as I have found factory pre lubed patches to be wanting.

Thank you for that. Where would I buy the felt and punch to make a 10mm wad?

I use this stuff and find it excellent.

Punches are available from tool shops, I think the last ones I bought were from Cromwells.

At £47 plus postage I hope it makes loads?

Cromwells seem to do an 8mm punch and a 12mm punch.

Appreciate the input but this is looking like a bit of a goose chase.

Greenshoots. Rude to look the gift horse and all that.

Roughly how many wads and how thick?

theres 2 bags of wads they are running about 11mm thickness but they are already lubbed there is about 250 in each bag dont hold me to that figure im not counting them and thats a concervative estimate
