16 gauge 7/8 loads using filler wad

[matt koepnick]

Aaron's questions had me thinking about the additions of either cork filler or Cheerio. this am i was working on the loader and decided to weigh in various parts. came up with these
Cheerio average weight= 1.7 to 1.8 grains
cork filler .150 thick average weight = 1.7 to 1.8 grains
2 BB's of #8 shot average weight was 2.3 grains
seems that addition of either filler is equal to about 2 more lead BB #8. i'm hoping /guessing this isn't of much consequence.
thanks all for helping me work this thru in my noggin. Mattly

The filler is increasing the weight by less than half of one percent. Weigh your full shot charge I bet it's throwing less than 7/8 oz
