Dennis - In order to get that much lead in the hull, they would have to use a wad with a very short compression section, resulting in less cushioning of the charge, and more deformed pellets. Secondly, in order to accelerate that heavy load, I suspect they have used a very hot powder, which, again, will result in severe setback, and deformation. I'm personally a big fan of slow-burning powders. My turkey load is copper-coated #6's filled with "grex" (powdered polyethylene)in front of about 26 gr. of 800X
