Frank, Yes that is what I do. I just drop an 1/8 oz. less shot and it works fine. I don't know about this drinking straw thing. Seems kind of labor intensive. Using the spreader disc you can use your machine to insert them while at the same time ensuring that they are seated nice and straight. How can you acomplish that with a piece of straw?

Dave,
I would use my fingers and my calibrated eyeball! This is how I load the magic BPI X spreaders. You have seen the result of those spreaders shot in my full choked 10 gauges. The drinking straw would be much less expensive and might also serve as a reserve in case one ran out of spreaders. Also, since when are you afraid of hard work? Mark |

Mark, I am not afraid of hard work or any work for that matter. Its just that I can load the inserts with one more stroke of the machine vs. loading an insert by hand. If it works for you have at it......

The idea of a spreader sounds like an interesting reloading project for my 28 ga Parker. Please pardon my ignorance, but are speader wads commercially available? Are there recommended brands? Your advice and experience is appreciated.
Thank You in advance. Steve Kleist Ely,MN Last edited by Steve Kleist; 12-28-2011 at 06:54 PM.. Reason: typo |

Steve,
I do not know about spreader wads for the 28 gauge but I'll bet they are! I would check with Ballistics Products Inc, BPI, Polywad, and Reloading Specialities. Mark
