00 with stack flat 3 to a layer, however when you're done you can feel slight bulges on the outside of the shell , but they still go in and shoot okay

1 will stack flat 4 to a layer

I have tried 2 that was a little loose 4 to a layer and #3 #4 were pretty much dump them in .

The idea of 0000 Buck or .375" roundballs intrigues me . And as I said earlier that's not going to be a Remington SP-10 wad propostion . However those balls in a brass shell with more shall we say classic wads is interesting . Someone here got some of the new Parker headstamp brass shells from Track of the Wolf and made turkey loads . I think his same loading procedure with these bigger balls might be a winner or atleast good enough for me to pot a porr unsuspecting deer inside say 25 yards . Even in the brass shell I think I would try and get a mylar or feflon wrap around the shot to help it scoot down the barrel a bit better .
