Thanks Brett,
From what I have seen, it just seems the way to go to use a 2 1/2 cheddite….the short kit is going on the MEC !

Hi. Brett and thx for sharing your load data. Just clarifying you use a .045 card on top of the powder and another on top of the shot?
Thx

Rick,

Yes, that’s what I did. I used the card over the powder to keep it in place. It probably isn’t needed, but that was my thinking.

What is the entry for "overshot device" and where does that go? On top of the shot?

I love it. I use small pinto beans. That way if I miss I might be planting something.
