cadet, if you have trouble getting useful wads, let me know. I may be able to make something to help or write you a spec to have something made. I use a Lyman Orange Crusher press with the 7/8-14 bushing removed and a home made die (1 1/4-10 bolt) to punch out 12 ga top wads from cereal boxes (gotta love them Cheerios to keep yourself in top wads!).
