When I was reloading Magtechs it was 10ga wads. I used a Mec 600jr - made pushing the 10ga wads in a bit easier. As for the overshot wad - in my past experience, only the thin, .024 wad was used. A little white glue is needed to kept them in place. I tried CF's thicker .062 OS card and got a big hole in the center of my pattern. The old roll crimped paper shells and those of us doing it today all use a THIN over shot card and for good reason - the less obstruction the shot has to fly through, the better. I also found that using more than 1" of cushion fiber wad caused holes in the pattern. Don't know for sure why, but believe too much mass and it would get pushed into the pattern. Are you loading black powder? If not, let me know what powder you're using. I tried many nitro powders and could never get anything but bloopers. With PB I even went up up 32grs [a normal load was 18grs] and still got bloopers. I quit there not having any pressure testing equipment. I believe it's because of the large volume in Magtechs. Good luck - Paul
