Harold;
See if you can locate some Downrange DR16 wads. They are scarce, like other components, but are worth the search. I've used them in the Rem RGL hulls , Federal and Cheddite hulls. They are versatile allowing you to load from 3/4 to 1 oz. loads. Good luck.

I've also had the Universal powder migration problem with (New) Cheddite hulls and WAA16 wads, but after 2 or 3 uses the slightly roughed-up interiors seem to keep the migration in check. FWIW...I use a bulkier powder such as Green Dot with the (New) hulls and switch to Universal after a few firings.

Thanks all, was just trying to get rid of some wads I dont use. Got the load from the Hogdons reloading site. I actually fit it in a 2 1/2" cheddite with 7/8 oz. I loaded up a box to try. I prefer to load only 2 1/2" hulls but have lots of 2 3/4" available--have 500 black RGL's, 200 Feds, and 500+ Herters/chedite.
If they worked, the CB wads are cheaper and more readily available than SG and DR wads (and made in the USA). Austin, may I should try it in some hulls that have a couple reloads on them. Mostly shooting clays with them, so they wont get jostled around like Hunting loads. Daryl, I do have 1000 DR16 wads and lots of RGL's, and 20/28--that is a good load.

I was trying to do the same with stuff I’d acquired in package deals . And it ended up with me buying more of just about all of it ! Luckily atleast before the shortage craze began .

My rule of thumb is simply Don't use a wad intended for a AA hull, in anything but a AA hull. They are smaller in the gas cup end, in order to fit the tapered hull.

Nick Sisley published a host of recipes for RST, Cheddite 16 gauge hulls, with both DR-16 and the BP, Gulandi, wads in Skeet Shooting now listed in Hogdons. He used Universal, International, PB, and 7625 with Nobel Sport primers. There was a posting some time ago on SG World listing Aliant 20-28, tested by Precision.

Good idea Harold. I wish I was more computer literate. I have only just mastered email and internet searching and my daughter now flat out refuses to assist a not so old Luddite.
