I use most of my Federal papers for BP. When useing nitro I use fiber wads because one , I have them and don't have to buy different plastic wads. Also use a roll crimp on all my paper hulls - they look better and the end card can be stamped with the shot size in black [ for BP ] or red [ for nitro ]. Although I do keep a few extra with a star crimp in my pocket for those fellows on the shooting line who run out of ammo - those are BP. Don't get alot of request for a shell anymore. With the nitro I use 16.5grs of 700X and 1oz of shot. Paul
