Thread: loading black powder shotshells what to use for wads

what to use for wads for black powder shells cant seem to buy fibre wads here and plastic are no good for bp really well not ideal anyway I can import wads at great cost and might still do that if no cheaper/better option comes along been quoted 110us for 1000 nitro cards,1000 wads and 1000 over shot cards but only $40 us of that is product lol not heavy but I guess real bulky lol

I can easily make over powder/nitro cards and over shot cards so not overly worried about them its mainly what to use for wads 2 options of seen are sheep's wool and the old style felt carpet underlay I can get sheep's wool as my uncle farms a fair few thousand of the little buggers...... felt underlay seems to be a more popular option but I don't know anyone in that line of work can anyone help there?.. also any other options?
