My short tens already use a card wad in the bottom of the shot cup . In an SP-10 wad I use 1 1/4 ounce of shot , a 16 gauge 1/8" wad under the shot and a 10 gauge over shot wad . The overshot wad serves a dual purpose . For one it keeps the tops from being sunken and it also is nice to have there in case of shot size holes in the middleof the crimp . Either way if I pony up the cabbage for a LS 1000 I think this will be a major improvement over the 600 JR atleast for clay/bird shells . I'll still need the 600 JR to load the buckshot however .
