Ox Yoke Wonder Wads in the .45-70 by C. Rodney James?
« on: October 29, 2004, 02:05:31 PM »
I went to www.findarticles.com.    I entered my search of:  "hard cast bullets" and then pulled up the #3 article about Speer's dry-lube bullets in the .45-70.    AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ARTICLE is a shorter article/discussion of wads in a couple of Vintage Trapdoor Springfields.    " Ox Yoke Wonder Wads with card or cork wads or corrugated cardboard alone " were the authors over-powder wads in all of his loads.     He tells you how to load them so you don't bulge a barrel.    Note that he uses these with smokeless powders as well as BP.    He also tells you his powder for getting 5-shot groups at 100 yds in 2.8 inches -- while using the wads.    

You can also go to: www.oxyoke.com to see more about wonderlube and the wads they sell.

My thinking is that these wads can help make ignition more consistent as well as reducing fouling.                          (edited to shorten the post)

Looks like that site has some nice equipment...I like the scope mount set up...I don't know about the wads for my shooting needs...have heard too much controversy and I'm happy with the performance I get with out the use of them...I'm sure they have an appication for use by some...just not me.... interesting though.....Thanks for the link...
