Load recipe to open shot pattern

[Landy67]

I loaded up a couple of boxes with the Poly Wads, and two more with the X spreaders. Shooting Skeet, I got a 20 with the Poly Wad, and a 16 with the X spreader. I need to hit the pattern board, but I only had an hour to shoot today, and I decided to just shoot. It looks like I'm going to be able to use this gun for all of the games I play!

So now the question is, how important is the stem in the Poly Wad? I saw a vintage ad for a commercial spreader load that had 3 over shot cards. Does the stem do much for the pattern? I may have to test that when I get to the pattern board.

Dan, One of the most important aspects of the Poly-Wad spreader insert is that it is inserted squarely. The post helps to achieve that. Another thing I have found is to not overspeed the load. You need to give the spreader time to work.
