    DIY Fibre wads?

    Howdy,
    I'm just about to start loading up some BP shotshells but am getting stuck trying to make some decent fibre wads, closest I've had to success so far is a 22mm hole saw into MDF (I think) giving me 18mm wads but they are very flaky and fell apart while measuring.

    So, What do you use for wad material? and how are you cutting it?

    I've seen mentions of pinex, cork and wool being used, but cutting it would still be my sticking point.
