    Wrapping buckshot for 12ga., NewEnglander use??

    Any recommendations for wrapping "00" or "#4", for use in upcoming MI muzzloader season??

    Think I can use old 12ga. hull, and make a paper sleeve to sit in it and then wrap the end with dental floss.

    Trying to make it easier to load.

    Thanks for responses.

    A MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEw YEar to ALL!

    You know that ain't a half bad idea.Carry it a little farther,use a piece of tubing the proper size put the cushion wad in,then the paper shot cartridge,then the top wad.Or a thin card wad then shot.

              How about using aluminum foil? Its what some in the N-SSA use to wrap the round ball for smoothie shooting. You could put some lube in the foil and then the buckshot and ram it down as a cartridge.
