Ok, talked to Craig. He doesn't have a pressure machine - sends his testing to Tom Amhurst. Didn't know anything about 700X. What he uses is 7625 [ 38 Mec bushing ], Rem wad with a FIBER wad cut to about 1/4" inside the plastic wad for filler and 1 3/16 oz of shot. 6100psi at 1200fps. Tom told him the fiber cushion wad was better that a hard card. It lowered pressure and stopped pressure spikes. Said it was one of the best loads he had ever tested. Also said paper instead of plastic wads doesn't mean you can go up 10% with all powders - just some and didn't which ones. So I guess I'll just dump the shot and shoot the wads out of 100 shells to be on the safe side. Buy me some 7625. It's been a learning process. Paul
