Wad punch size
« on: November 22, 2009, 06:49:04 PM »

    I want to buy a wad punch for my Buffalo Classic .45/70.    But I don't know if I should get the .455 or .460.   What's the best size?

I cheated,
  I  took my deburring tool and sharpened the mouth of a case that I had drilled a hole through the primer pocket in the rim and use that as the punch and then stick a cleaning rod section through the hole in the rim and push out the wads.  Works real well for me so far on both paper and plastic milk jugs and felt.

regards,
