10 Gauge 2 5/8" Bismuth and Lead Load Results

Paul:

I agree with you. I do not like using overshot cards (or anything else over the shot). When I ran the first WSF test, I used two overshot cards to get a good crimp. Then, for subsequent tests, I used two overshot cards for consistency. Much better to place the overshot cards in the bottom of the wad cup (with the fiber wad). In practice, I do not use any overshot cards for this load. Instead, I just use a thicker fiber wad in the bottom of the wad cup.

I had a chance to pattern my bismuth #2 load today and at 40 yards I ended up with a 71% pattern with my 10 gauge Parker Lifter choked full. It looks like it is going to make a good goose load if I can manage to put the pattern on the goose which is sometime easier said then done for me. Geese Beware.
