My off the wall guess is about $20.00 per hundred, so it may be cheaper for all of us to just order direct from Kynocho, what do ya'll think.. Would it be worth $20.00 per hundred?? In lesser amounts they cost consideralby more...

Ray,

Hmmmm..... more than I expected. Not an outrageous amount but still a little expensive. And you (Ray) would have to handle all of the boxing and shipping to all of us. IMHO, I just think it's more trouble than it's worth. Dacron is a lot cheaper and much more available. Maybe we should all just keep using the Dacron.

Just my two cents worth....

Ray, Just an off the wall question from a magazine rifle user...
What are these things and how do you use them. Do they make good ear plugs?

Thanks Jerry

Jerry,

They're used for filler between the powder charge and the base of the bullet when using Reloder 15 in handloads for many of the Nitro Express cartridges. (The .470 NE for example.)

Spring

Ray,

I ordered 600 of them last spring and found them surprisingly cheap to have delivered in that amount. They got here about 1 week or so after I ordered them. I'm sure you're getting a savings by ordering them in bulk, but from my experience, I'm not sure if the effort to disperse them to everyone (while certainly generous and noble of you) with the additional shipping charges for the new parcels, will create significant savings for everyone. That said, I really do like reloading my .470 with them. If consisitency is a factor in getting accurate reloads, using these wads would have to be a step in that direction. They are also very quick and easy to insert. I recommend them highly.

I tend to agree, the smart thing to do would be for all of us to contact Kynocho USA and have them order them in bulk for US distribution, that makes more since...

I'm getting the opinnion that it would turn into a nightmare of boxing and shipping and at no profit for my time and effort inasmuch as they can be ordered direct from Kynocho in Europe via email that is probably the best route to take....

Ray,

I'm afraid you're right. We thank you very much for trying to do a good thing!

Well both are, of course.
There is no truth to the acusation that I said one was better than the other, or that one or the other was the one true source of foam wads.
