The original Hodgdon load called for CB-1078 20 gauge wads, but the crimping was terrible, very hollowed out if you will. It was suggested I substitute that wad for the CB-1075 Wad and they crimp very nice. I sent this load to Precision before I shot it and the above are the tested result.
My other go to Winchester 572 load is as follows, and was taken off the Hodgdon Reloading Data Center. Not tested by Precision.
15.5 Grns Winchester 572 Powder
7/8 oz lead
Win 209 primer
CB 1078 Wad
Winchester AA Hulls
1150 Velocity
