Default Wad Column

Thanks Bill; I have some 1955 vintage SuperX twenties here but that is all. What I am interested in finding out is if the original Super X that were loaded in Parker's era used a longer over powder wad in an attempt to tighten patterns launched at higher velocities. A wad that was longer than the distance from case mouth to a point where the bore was less than the inside case diameter would prevent powder gas from getting into the shot column.

Best, Austin
