Just finished up 100 black powder loads. 2.75 inch Cheddite paper hulls, Orange or Red, Cheddite primed, 82.0 grains KIK 2 fg by volume, ( one can use 2 fg OE, 1.5 fg OE and 2 fg GOEX. Goex fouling is a bit heavier and harder than the other powders). 1- 1.25 inch nitro card, 1- 1/2 inch lubed fiber cushion wad, 1- 1/4 inch felt wad, 1- Circle Fly over shot card. 1 oz. #7.5 hard shot, 1- Circle Fly over shot card. Finished off with a roll crimp. A good roll crimp really makes this load a visual stunner. This is a very good load. Load height is right for a tight roll crimp. Lubed fiber cushion helps keep fouling manageable. Absolute clays crusher both near and pretty far. I load #5 and #6 shot for hunting. Next time out we will smoke up the course! My squad mates will be amazed and astounded by a vintage double and vintage ammunition! For a 1 1/8 oz load, just substitute a .070 or 1.25 hard card for the 1/4 inch felt. What ever brings the load column up for proper roll crimping. Great good fun for a round of clays!
