If I want to shoot 1 ounce loads I use the same wad and powder (different bushing) in Remington STS hulls.

If I want to shoot 1 1/8 ounce loads I use the same wad and powder (different bushing) in Federal hulls.

How 7/8 ounce loads crimps look with 1 ounce CB1100-12 and Red Dot/Promo below.
Which MEC bushings do you use for PROMO when pushing 1 ounce and which for 1 1/8 ounce if you don’t mind saying ? In one of my deals somewhere I acquired 8 pounds of Promo . I’d like to use it for ounce and ounce and an eighth loads in STS hulls while using the CB AA wad for the 1 1/8 and the CB AA SL wad for ounce loads .
