I wrote an email to the folks at ballistic products a moment ago asking if they'd make cup wads and donut wads in 12/16/20 gauge sizes.
I'd be thrilled to simply be able to buy them in bulk.
Still, making them isn't such a big deal, not too terribly much work considering the great results.

Would you consider describing how you make cup-shaped paper OP wads? My book that described how to make these wads has "gone missing".
