Well I have disassembled some 8 and 10 gauge loads the other day to get a better idea of how I want to reload. The 8 gauge loads just had dry fiber wads, the high velocity load which I think is 1700 fps only had a single 1/4" fiber wad which I thought was odd. Talking to cowboy action shooters the wad lube is for making the bores easier to clean after shooting blackpowder not sure if theres a benefit for smokeless?
Is there any reason when trimming 10 gauge hulls to cut them 2 7/8 instead of 2 5/8 ? Looking at these loads I took apart even a 2 5/8 10 gauge needs filler for 1 1/4oz loads. I just dont see the reason for keeping excess length on the hull besides what is need for a crimp ?
