Will do I think I’m also gonna load some up today with the hulls cut a little longer so I put a nitro card between the charge and plastic shot cup. Then I might try a card board OS card over the top.
It’s my normal 100 grain charge of FG with 1 5/8 oz of shot I use for turkey. Instead of using a half-inch nitro card I eliminated it and added a BPI tough wad that I slit all four pedals down to the base and then I trimmed the wad down to 1.458 inches. I also removed about 13 grains of shot and added back in 13 grains of original buffer just trying to tighten up my load pattern because I’m not really impressed with anything I’ve gotten so far tight enough for what I would call a good turkey hunting load past 25 yards.
I will pattern halfway decent 40 yards but I figured a plastic shot. Cuff and buffer might be the answer.
I don’t have a way to fold crimp so roll crimping is my only option currently.
I’ll be curious to see which one patterns better. From what I’ve read those plastic OS cards are supposed to shatter when firing and just blow out of the way I guess I’ll find out the pattern board will tell me all.
