Hello,
I typically use a hammer struck hollow punch when making felt wads for my cap and ball revolvers, but would like to use a drill press mount punch since it is more efficient and easier. I have harbor freights drill press punches, and that works well for the .36's, but the 7/16" punch is a little small imo for .44. Does anyone know of a supplier that sells drill press hollow punches that work better for .44 caliber? Preferably something with a diameter of around .455", which is what I typically use.
Thanks
 
It the 7/16" punch tapered where you could take a bit off the end to increase the ID and resharpen?
It is slightly, I probably could use a dremel to open it a bit. I would think even if the punch is widened to something like .480" and is oversized it would still fit a .44 because the felt should compress when loaded. Just a theory, anyone try that?
 
I've found that when attempting to use a felt wad that is oversize of the brass, it wants to flip/turn when pushing into the mouth of the case. Tried a few and it was more work to get them to lay flat on the powder. I have hammer punches from a couple different sources, they have numbers which may be mm instead of inches. I will see which one I use for 45's and which I use in the 44 C&B's.
 
I opened a harbor frieght punch with a cone shaped stone dremel tool. Worked great and kept it sharp but i didnt use a dremel tool...i actually used a vice and drill press. I held the stone bit in the vice and put the punch into the drill press and dropped it down square.
 
I bought a punch on Ebay a few years back, that was either 11.5mm or 29/64" (same size, roughly), and it punches out perfect size wads and lube cookies for my '58 NMA and Walker.
As TheOutlawKid said above, opening up a 7/16 punch with a cone shaped stone would be pretty easy and probably the most economical way to do it, if the 7/16 is the only size easily sourced locally. Could even be done by hand, with some patience!
