Mr. Bell's load worked great! It is 22 grains of Hodgdon's Clays, an SP10 wad, one 1/2" felt 16 gauge wad, a 1/8" nitro card 16 gauge wad, an overshot wad and a roll crimp. My first venture was successful. These should be fine ruffed grouse loads. Cheers!

By the way, now that the mouth of the hulls are all goobered up from firing, how do I round them out a bit for ease of reloading?

Mark,

BPI sells skiver tools that relax the mouths/crimp area of fired shells. The power (drill press) tool works okay but the tapered wood dowel with the abrasive coating is magic! A couple turns and the case mouth is ready to load again!
