I'm waiting to try out my spreader loads at the patterning board. I hope to get to it this week. I have a dozen combinations of spreader loads. I loaded 4 rounds of each combo, all with #8 shot. I'll take pictures of 1, 2 and 4 shots at the board before moving on to the next variation. (Yes, I know... My OCD is showing!) I'll let you know when I have the test.
The combination that I've tried at the range so far is 1oz "Brush Wads" from Ballistic Products, 14.5gr Extra-Lite powder, Win 209 primers, the solid (yellow) Poly-Wads. I put in 3/4 oz of #9, the Poly-wad, then 1/4oz shot on top. I got pretty good scores at skeet. 17, 19, and 20. With my Remington 1100 skeet I usually get 22's and 23's.
