8 GAUGE BRASS SHELL TURKEY LOADS

[Mike Franzen]

I started loading my 10 gauge with BP and had them same issue with not filling up the shell. It didn't affect the loads ability to send the shot down range but like Paul said it does make sealing a little harder. When I put 2 half inch fiber wads on top of the over powder wad I did get a perceived increase in pressure AND it tightened up my pattern considerably. I submitted an article about all to the Parker Pages so it may get published. I am a fan of shooting BP. Good luck

Oh it WILL get published Mike, in the Fall 2015 Issue.
I read it and edited it (you won't even notice) and selected and cropped some of your pictures to accompany your article. Very nicely and thoroughly written Mike - Thanks!

By invitation I'll be exhibiting and demonstrating some of my Parkers at a local gun club and one of the guns I'll be letting a few folks shoot is my 10 ga. Grade-3 lifter with some of Frank Cronin's handloads (Thank you Frank) and I wonder if I might have your permission to print off a few copies of your article for the very few folks who would like it for reference?
We can very easily copyright it.
