black powder shotshell reloading

[ArtS]

Just a comment. The 16 wads are correct for the plastic hulls. If you load brass, you do go "up" in wads, but up is a 15ga, not 17. The Parker stamped brass cases generally load better by going up one size. I haven't loaded any in a little while, but the manufacturer recommendation and that of suppliers is to use 14 ga for OP and Cushion and 13 gauge for the overshotwhen loading MagTech. I have tried them and they give perfect loads. Glue in the overshot.

Very convenient ... and efficient!

I already use 16 ga wads (and sometimes cards) for my “short ten” reloading.

It may not take much to get into black powder reloading for the 16 gauge.
