this Cheerio idea would save some added time on stamping out cork fillers. plus we already have some of that filler in "stock". another plus would be i know the published pressures on my Unique loads with 1 oz are in my safe zone. sounds like Cheerio 7/8 would be even lower. win/win
thanks Matt K |

The 19.5 g universal, 7/8 oz shot in a 2.5" cheddite hull is listed on hogdons site at 7300-1125fps
So Thats why I was asking about testing. The extra weight of the card may increase pressure some, i dont know. The 2 3/4 hull likely lowers it. |

Aaron's questions had me thinking about the additions of either cork filler or Cheerio. this am i was working on the loader and decided to weigh in various parts. came up with these
Cheerio average weight= 1.7 to 1.8 grains cork filler .150 thick average weight = 1.7 to 1.8 grains 2 BB's of #8 shot average weight was 2.3 grains seems that addition of either filler is equal to about 2 more lead BB #8. i'm hoping /guessing this isn't of much consequence. thanks all for helping me work this thru in my noggin.

The filler is increasing the weight by less than half of one percent. Weigh your full shot charge I bet it's throwing less than 7/8 oz

I often use a cheerio when I have dished crimps regardless of the load. I put it on top of the shot. Improves the crimps. Can’t imagine it affects ballistics, I only see some dust now and then upon firing.

I'll use filler wads under my shot charge when necessary to fill the shot column. I'd rather use the various wads than a bean or cereal.
