Brian,
Right now I'm using Win 209.
Paul, Chuck,
I bought 10k Win. 12ga.SL wads[they are pink]. They work well for 1oz. but really shine for 7/8oz. as all the shot is enclosed in the shotcup and give truly amazing patterns. A good buddy of mine worked for a huge defense contractor here in MD and he had access to all kinds of testing equipment. 16.7gr. of clays, WWSL wad, WW209primer in either a AA, Rem, or Fiocchi hull at 1200fps gave 6700psi. When I run out I'll try the CB wads. On another note I've read with interest the various spreader wads that people use to open up their patterns. About 20yrs. or so ago I wrote Tom Roster a letter requesting some suggestions for opening up the patterns in some of my old tightly choked Parkers. He wrote back that the simplest method for opening up a pattern is to simply cut the petals off the wad allowing the shot to scrub the bore and slightly deform the pellets. Using high antimony shot I've used this method very successively since. You don't need to cut all the petal off to the base- about 1/3 removal works well for me but you can experiment to see what patterns best for your gun. I considered then and now, Tom Roster to be the eminent authority in reloading. I will try and find his letter and post it.
