I just came from another forum (Handloads.com) where there was a thread about what kind of paper to use as an over primer wad.
This idea is new to me. (I have posted a similar note in that thread but would like to get as much info as possible, hence, this post.).
The idea, evidently, is to keep powder kernels from entering the primer flash hole without softening the spark.
Why would we want to do this? What is the rationale? I'm supposing that this is done to increase consistency and accuracy but it seems like a lot of work for.....how much gain?
I have never heard of this. Is it a new idea? Old?
