A lead .410” ball is about 90 grains a .415” ball is almost 100 grains . Either is loosely 000000 buck . Now I first started using the SP-8 wad and 8 pellets of .415” about 800 grains about 1 7/8 ounces . The loads I’ve been using recently hold ten of the .415” pellets or approx 2 1/4 ounces . To get ten in the shell I used the Gualandi wad it give a skoosh more room . And almost for got I put a scoop or two of Grex which “seems to help” . This concoction will probably work fine in the Winchester hulls but I’ve not tried it . I used brand new black REM hulls and roll crimped . Now bear in mind there isn’t any way in heck this is a quick operation and they’re always tight going in the gun . But they work ! To keep this from being a PITA when I do it I never load more than maybe a dozen shells .
