Yondering, I need to get some 410 overshot wads.... that's better patterning than I'm getting. I wanted a good grouse or snake gun. My shells would work, only yours better! I actually wanted to go with the wads, but didn't want a thousand of them. So, went with what I had! Thanks Again, memtb
I actually make mine from card stock, usually from primer boxes. I just sharpened a 45 case with a deburring tool and use that with a plastic mallet to punch out my overshot wads. I tried several sizes of "real" overshot wads but results weren't as good, I think since those wads were thicker than the card stock I'm using. You do need a heavy rounded crimp like my pic shows though to keep them in place; just a simple roll crimp isn't enough. That's where the special shotshell dies come in, but I don't know if those are even still available; my set is at least 20 years old.
