Vegetable Fiber Wads: The vegetable fiber wad is traditional for use in the
black powder cartridge rifle, and it is biodegradable, unlike the LDPE wads which
will probably never break down. Vegetable fiber wads stay flexible, to seal the
bore of the barrel against gas blow-by around the bullet. The inside diameter of
your cartridge case should be larger than the groove diameter of your barrel, and
your vegetable fiber wad should be a snug fit in your case. Available in .062" (1/16")
thickness, in your choice of five popular calibers. Sold in bags of 1000.
