Winchester OR Cheddite 209 primer
7/8oz shot
FPS is 1200 and PSI is 5800.

This is from the Alliant website. I use both the MEC single stage or Grabber for this depending on what I have set up.

But Andy's shells have holes in the patterns!!

I presume Andy's shells go off all the time whereas a couple of witnesses can testify to 5 of about 36 shells loaded on a Spolar with no powder. Might want to turn off Pandora and quit jiving while loading. Just sayin

I thought the Spolar came complete with an attendant to insure everything goes right.

Always works better when you don’t bump the powder hopper off the charge bar!!
