Do you use felt wads for reloading?

Do you use a greased or ungreased felt wad for reloading?
Check out my post, "Found! Proper Felt for Greased Wads" in the Cap and Ball revolver section.
You'll find an inexpensive source for hard, 100 percent wool felt to make your own wads, as well as sources for wad punches. Also, an old recipe for a great black powder lubricant that rivals any commercial lubricant but is much cheaper to make.
Give it a gander.

Gatofeo, when I first started in blackpowder cartridge in 1998, I tried using Wonder Wads, and they worked great, but I didn't want to add an additional 3 1/2 cents or so to the cost of each round.  So I stopped using them.

But reading your post, you/ve got me excited about making some up and trying them again.

Thanks for the info.
