Many thanks! This is very interesting and useful "stuff"! I hope that your description encourages other shooters to "go back to the future" with this kind of wad. (As I recall Greener describes a "Swedish" cupped OP wad that was very similar in principle to the "Super-X" OP wad and to the cupped OP wads that you make.)
In regard to "cupped" fiber filler wads: Do you use Don Zutz's procedure of using a Number 12 leather punch or a .410-bore wad cutter to cut through about 1/2 of the thickness of 3/8" (or less) wads and approximately 3/4 of the thickness of wads that are more than 3/8" thick? I suspect that these punch sizes are used for 12 gauge wads. I also understand that it is important to seat "cupped" fiber wads by themselves, void down, and with a minimum of wad pressure. Is this correct?
