    DIY revolver wads

    A while back, I got a bunch of hard wool felt to punch out wads for the revolver. Anyone have a tried-and-true formula for lubing the wads? I'm guessing a mix of beeswax and crisco with a heavy % of wax will fit the bill. Any insights/ experience is welcome!

    Thanks

    Heat up your preferred mixture in a double boiler sauce pan then stir in your discs. Allow them to soak up the mixture and then spread out on some foil.
