Thread: loading black powder shotshells what to use for wads

You can make a grease cookie I've used various receipes, bees wax, chef aid, lanoline all melted together in various ratios, tipped into a flat pan and thin cookies cut from it, now I just use bees wax sheets as shown, you could use two of them in a shotgun shell. Theory is it melts with the heat and mixes with the BP residue and softens it, easier to wipe from the bore, you need to play a bit,
