Here is a list of the micro Fiber pouches I use at the present time - From top to bottom:

1) GM-BW 40mm x 13mm x 8mm Pouch

2) GM-BW 43mm x 14mm x 7mm Pouch

3) GZK 43mm x 13mm x 7mm Pouch

4) Ali Express 45mm x 10mm x 7mm Pouch

5) GZK 48mm x 13mm x 8mm Pouch

6) GM-BW 48mm x 15mm x 8mm Pouch

7) Ali Express 50mm x 14mm x 8mm Pouch

All these pouches work great, the GZK with the holes on the sides are very fast to load, a super pouch as is the tiny 40mm GM-BW on top.

The Ali Express 45mm is a super cheap yet great pouch for 1/4" and 5/16" steel and is barely capable of 3/8" steel also.

The last two on the bottom are my generic type pouches that are both great for any size "Small Ball" (1/4"-3/8") you may decide to use. I would never go over 50mm in length for any ammo 3/8" or smaller.

Lots of different textures there. Must be a huge difference in feel and drag on release.

To me, I can't feel the difference and the way I shoot, it is usually my release hand is not in the same position every single time ... but I'm getting MUCH, MUCH better at that and now my shots are always very close to where I'm aiming if I miss !

The first, third and fifth pic are of the inside of that pouch, 2,4,6 and 7 are of the outside of that pouch. All have a nice feeling on the outside.

I'm going to make a looped set of 1030's that I just got in today, and will test them later on in the week for speed. I will use the fourth pouch down I think for this test. I will form the sides under pressure to a 1/4" steel ball .... Pics tomorrow. how I do this .... this is NOT rocket science ;- )

Here are a few pics of my down and dirty fiber pouch shaping I do - I put a 1/4" ball in the small micro pouch and then put that pouch in another thin leather pouch so the dimple is more pronounced, I then squeeze, let sit for a couple of minutes, then remove - the finish pouch is the third photo. The dimple looks more pronounced on the right side but that is just the lighting and angle of the photo.

I don't have a heat gun handy put that would make the dimple even better I believe.

This shaping of the side makes loading MUCH, MUCH easier and I do it most of the time without looking as the ball has a home and goes into that position when put in the pouch. The side dimpling is really a great thing for ball position.

Heating of the pouch works just great also, but these particular fiber pouches are very heat sensitive, hence the reason I form these !

Went out shooting today and the ball indents on the sides of the pouch really make a difference in having the ammo sit in the pouch - in the same position every time ! I have been heating the pouch with a lighter with a ball in it for a while, info I learned on this forum and that also works very, very well.

I wish I had a hot air blower as that would probably make a better formed pouch when it is being formed in a vice. I will play around tomorrow before the craziness happens at work, I think we may have a hot air blower someplace !
