Lubed or unlubed. If over bore size, how does one crush the folds so as to eliminate air, or is a smidgen of air not harmful?
Why not Super Grex? Super Grex has been used in cast bullet center fire cast loads for the last twenty or thirty years. It functions as does a gas check. It was developed by Winchester to cushion shot in shotgun shells, and then used in place of cornmeal over powder in center fire cartridge guns firing lead bullets. I have used it in 44's and 45/70's.
In cartridges it is placed over powder in an amount that would require compression to seat the bullet. It seems to have little effect on pressure.
I have been dumping powder in and ramming a conical bullet straight on top. I guess that is not correct. Trying to teach oneself stuff that one has no idea about is fun.
I have no wads, but I do have a jug of Super Grex and will most likely experiment with it.
