10g. Reloading question

[Jack Kuzepski]

I break off a piece of polish packing peanut that I think is of the right size and drop it on top of the shot charge right before crimp starting. It works. Doesn't affect patterns and if it is a little too much it just compresses.

Seems to me with my 1 1/8 ounce loads I use three of the 16 gauge 1/8” card wads in the bottom and a 10 gauge overshot card even though I use a folded crimp . Incidentally there’s 18.6 grains of Red Dot beneath the SP-10 wad . This rather light load rolls up skeet and trap targets with ease . It also does a good job on dove .
