Mike, good question. When I tried heavier overshot wads I got blown patterns. But then I was useing black powder [ 92grs ] and only 1oz of shot. I've been told after, the more power when useing BP, the more shot so there's a resistance for a good burn. Glad to hear someone has figgered it out. Paul

Charlie, have you tried paper wads? A good tight over powder card would do the trick like David uses. Circle Fly sells any size wads you could want. Besides, who would use plastic wads in a brass shell? David, where did you get reloading data for your powders? How much are you useing? Paul
