Underdog Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Just load them or send them to me for consumption in my flintlock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yes, send them to Underdog. Before he goes off on one I didn't think cork obturated like fibre does so needed a plastic obturator to drive it. Probably talking rubbish though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFreddysCat Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 If you reload 10g, use them as spacers in the plastic wad to adjust the shot column height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dipper Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Read in a magazine some years ago loading cork wads you need to up the powder slightly .Dont think I would reload them without a card or obturator .Dipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 In Europe cork was the traditional wadding material instead of the fibre that we used. It should load as a direct substitute for fibre. You see Siarm still sell a lot of cork wads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
