well i got to work on those 8 ga loads again. i loaded 2 shells with no 6 shot. i shot them and agin there were only one hole in target. shot at 40 yards. i did not have any bigger shot to shoot. i set down and loked at my wadding again they were SP 8 REMINGTON Wads. the wads were solid they did not have any slits. so i took a sharp knife andmade 2 cuts i made the wads have4 pedals.i loaded up some more rounds shot the target at 40 yards. it threw a even pattern would have madeyou boys proud of me to see whatthat pattern. i belive its some of the best patterns that old 8 ga as ever shot. i still have not figured out the italian wads yet.i loaded up 30 rounds of no. 6 s this should make some fine crow shells. will try these shells out friday morning. gonna use that old parker lifter gun with 26 inch barrels gonna be hard to miss with this combination. charlie
