Perfect timing for this…I just hand loaded 100 hulls over the last two nights using the BP X insert. Hoping they will open up a F/F choked gun for me.

Chain reaction though after all that hand loading and my roll crimps being so terrible is I now have a Sizemaster on the way lol.

They work. I have loaded those to occasionally shoot sporting or skeet with a short ten. They opened the pattern from Remington 1894 that shot 92/93% at 40 yards to 56%.

I had a 28 that could shoot thru a Cherrio without scratching it, and Jay gave me a handful of 28 ga brush wads. They seemed to work pretty well. I had also tried using overshot cards divided evenly over each 1/4oz of shot (3/4oz loads) with noticeable opening. I can't say it didn't open up some holes in the pattern, not having shot them at the patterning board.
Some time ago, Frank Srebro posted a picture of a plexiglass template he had made for drawing a patterning paper. That could be handy if he could post it again.
