This morning I am loading some Remington Hulls cut to 2 7/8 inches with a Winchester 209 primer, 34.3-5 grains of SR 4756, Remington SP10 wads using 1 Balistic Products .070 16 ga. card and 1 Circle Fly 1/8" 16 ga. card in the bottom of the cup. 1 1/4 oz. 7.5 shot for those longer shots on the clays course. The card stack height is just perfect for factory like crimps on my MEC Size Master press. Load # 8 Sherman Bell load using just the .070 card gave a dished crimp so I added the 1/8 card and am pleased with the results of the finished shell. This load works really well in my W.W. Greener and George T. Abbey Hammer guns. With 6's and 5's a very good field load. I'm going to see how this load works with the Federal Hull. Cheddite and Federal Hulls and 19.0 grains of Red Dot has become my go to clays load but it is nice to have a bit heavier payload for some applications. Can't tell you just how much fun these guns are with loads in the proper pressure range.
