i too had blown patterns in my 10 ga. with thicker over shot wads .most test cut patterns from 85 % to 30 % and not a good 30 % , clumps of shot and big holes

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
