atomlab 104 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 press down evenly with a strong /ridged ruler or straight edge , use a new Stanley blade and lube with rubbing alcohol so the blade doesn't stick (just make sure you cut it in one pass ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kranky 507 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 If you're talking about square rubber, as is used for Milbro's, just use a pair of sharp scissors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve66 3,498 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Didnt think people still used square elastic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Metal straight edge and a rotary cutter, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kranky 507 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 It's still used by lots of people. .44 cal lead balls or heavier are what works best. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.338winmag 78 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thanks so much guys ,yes its a gum rubber i purchased from a supplier ,wanted to cut 1/4 in squares for catty's thinkin it should have some longetivity and the stuff is very streatchy ,actually tried to cut some bands but they were not real straight bit jagged gonna use em any way ,but now with your input i'm gonna try cutting them your way's ,an if i can get nice straight cuts well i'l provably stay with the squares for a bit as i bought a 1 foot square of it ,,oh an at this time i have some .440and .445 lead balls from muzzle loading that i'l use for game ,till i can get a good mold ,can you suggest a good size ,for like squizzer's rabbits, grouse etc?

whipbed 42 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 do a search on ebay for ball lead sinker moulds size 1 or size 2 should suit your needs check the size description on the advert as it will tell you the size , weight and number of balls each mould makes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
