I lightly seat the wad, don't really compress it. The crimp extends down further than a 7/8oz load but still seals it. Results in a clean burning load. RST 3/4oz loads leave a lot of powder residue in my gun and cost delivered about $130/case. This is a lot less expensive, something appreciated by old pensioners such as Charlie and me who still are able to do a little part time work.
I had never heard of putting Cheerios in a load. However, that must be what I was shooting when the bird keeps flying.
