Kirk, if you buy wads for the SW hulls like RST, the Fed hulls are the same so your wads will work in them also. They lay all over at my gun club. Not many seem to load them. Bill, my loads with the CB-3118 wad stick up into the crimp area - they just fold over with the crimp - I don't trim them. Also, your little home made spacer- all you need is a spacer cut the right shape to fit under the shell hold down plate. That way you can still use it to locate the shells under the drop tube, first and final crimp. I also straighten out the fingers on the shell plate so it fits flat. On the back side of the press table is usually a 1/4/20 hole [ or make one ] . I run a 1/4-20 screw through the spacer and plate into the table to keep everything down . Sometimes the plate wants to lift on the upstroke after the final crimp.
