Simple Homemade Spreader Load

I like the ease of how it loads and if you have a less than ideal crimp no shot is going to leak out. I thought perhaps some folks might be surprised how a simple over the shot card can affect the pattern so drastically.

Is this a true to gauge nitro card? 16 ga in a 16 ga hull for instance?

That is what I used.

Pete, what type of ring do you use to mask off the target from the pellets outside of the 30 inch circle?

Targets are ready to go out of the box. The 30 inch circle is printed on it and additional 30" circles with smaller border are there as well in case your pattern is slightly off center. There are two types available from Ballistic Products, one with a clay pigeon in the center and one with a flying duck, I just buy which ever one is available, last time the duck target was on sale.
