The only restriction for international shooting was a shot charge of 7/8 oz. or less. The SO wad was superior to any of the other off-brand equivalents for ease of reloading and patterning. They cost more but the results were dramatic.

CORRECTION - I went back and retrieved the reloading logs I saved from the mid-1990s, and the bunker load referred to above was in fact 19.5 gns. of 700X, NOT 21.5 gns. My Bad!
