No just the SP-10 wad by itself.

Tom and I thought the same thing . In trying to develop a Bismuth load in the Remington Hull I used the BPI PT 1044 wad and it came in way over pressure , so I drop the charge by 2 grains and used the SP wad and the pressures where almost identical ( way over ) so I regrouped and am now trying it with Unigue . Seems the SP wad seals pretty good

By the way this same load in the Remington hull from Precision Reloading , came in way over pressure by about 1900 psi .
