10 gauge reload Issues

[charlie cleveland]

your wad height is not high enough you will have to add abean or paper wads or some thing under the shot to bring up the height of the lead...there is nothing to stop your crimp from going down to far..adjustment of higher wad column will fix your problem...charlie

Yup more filler wad

With all respect, I don’t think that’s the issue.

I have some that are turning out perfectly, do you see how the shell appears to be squirting out the one side past the crimping stem?

I know when you do not have enough filler, it will close, but not tightly because the load is not up against the end of the crimp.

If you think your shot column height is correct I would try adjusting the cam and see if makes an improvement.
