The launchpad is a Browning BSS. After shooting this BSS at sporting clays and 5-stand for a month I must say I'm impressed with the gun. It won't raise a vintage eyebrow, but it's a superb shooting SxS.

Thanks, Mark. It truly is a good shotgun. I knew they were well made, but the nice balance and shooting characteristics surprised me. Perfect duck/clays gun, and now my 16's feel like toothpicks.

I'll start on the load above in the next week and see how they come out.

Quick followup on this recipe. The stack height is low and despite press adjustments the very concave crimps are a no-go for me.

No emergency here, I have plenty of suitable ammo. I'll eventually get what I want wumped-up.

stack height is adjustable by adding fiber/cardboard wads in the shot cup before the shot

I don't have a 10ga non tox load that doesn't need them - i load a 1 1/8 target load that needs 3

As a lifelong reloader I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't think of that. I see Ballistic Products has some felt spacers that look like they would work. I guess I'd need a size that would fit inside a RP12 wad.

I use 16's in a 10 - so I'd guess 20's in a 12

20's in a 12 works just fine.
