Or you can use the brass or aluminum cauls, inserting two sides (ends) at a time and trimming as you go for near zero waste. The nicest thing about the Bushmaster system is the idiot resistant uniformity of insertion depth of the cloth. If your eyeball insertion gage is adequately dependable, the single or double caul system uses less cloth. Speed is probably more operator rather than system specific with either approach, and none of them qualify as being particularly fun. Ron N
