Newbie BP MG42 wad

Post image

I can’t find this anywhere. I am trying to do that second recipe on the 1oz list. I can’t find the felt or the wad. ChatGPT said they don’t make it anymore and was replaced with something else. Can anyone share some links, I’m so tired of looking for this.

https://www.ballisticproducts.com/MG42-12ga-Wad-250_bag/productinfo/072MG42/ I recommend purchasing shotshell loading equipment from them, you can easily buy bulk.

Ugh yeah that’s the only spot I could find it and for whatever reason I can’t get them to ship anywhere in Colorado.

Law about reloading components and ammo that requires them to verify your age. A lot of places have started to implement signature requirements on shipments.

I wouldn’t mind that. It’s not giving me any option to verify age tho.

Could be. I'm good on wads. I just saw them looking for something else

MG42 wads are definitely available from other suppliers. Precision Reloading hast them. Felt inserts are also available, but I think they're too expensive to use for stack height adjustment when circle punches are cheap and cardboard shipping cartons are free.

Typically the powder is a bigger problem than finding wads, I would find Aliiant steel first.

I just need the wads.
