Adjusting the crimp best solution, overshot wad next best. I have used a dry bean as a quick fix too. Lot of guys use a Cheerio, I find they often crush on crimping and allow excess space. Overshot has no effect on pattern can’t say what a dry bean does to patterns

My 10 G shells need a lot of filler using the SP10 wad. 16G Fiber wad split with a knife to size & depending on shot charge bottom of the shot cup works best.

I don't disagree, William, however, the only available wad leaves too much hull to fold into a nice Pie crimp. If adding an overshot card to bring the total charge up to get a nice crimp, 6 slices of pie,(now i'm hungry) then I consider the press properly adjusted.
I know people use cheerios, but once its crushes into powder, and migrates into the voids around the shot pellets, There's going to be a loose charge, without good compaction. I see random patterns in that scenario.
