Default roomy hull

i got the 2 3/4 Cheditte hull to use some reclaimed TM shot- planning to use Craig's recipe he had tested.

And since i have a lot of bismuth to use up and thought i would load some of that as well

i found this load on the Hodgon site - for a 2 3/4 Cheditte hull



when i loaded it ( powder and shot were weighed to make sure it was right)
i ended up with a tremendous amount of room left in the case

so i went to the 1 3/8 load from the same site



and still had too much room left to crimp over

this is the left over room with a shot load of 1 3/8 oz (not to mention the bit of powder that got past the wad)



how the heck did they test this load -

i tried cheerios - they crushed - so now to find a filler that will hold up
