I always put filler wad or cheerio under the shot. Filler wads over the shot create a spreader load. I normally only use one Cheerio or part of one to get the crimp I am looking for. In my experience multiple Cheerios will create squib loads. I think the fact Cheerios crush makes them good filler, a little too tall and no problem it crushes to allow for proper crimping.

The nice thing about Cheerios, say you want to try a 7/8 load but you only have 1 ounce wads, drop a Cheerio in the bottom of that 1 ounce wad and load with 7/8 of shot.
