Well one Cheerio is a dandy filler for 3/4 ounce 12ga wads and I have had no issues using two Cheerios with the Claybuster pink wad (1 ounce wad), HOWEVER..... Four Cheerios in an SP10 wad for 1 1/8 ounce was not as good. I shot a round of trap last night and all the shells went bang but there were several (more than is acceptable) shots that I could feel were not full power and they sounded slightly off too. I am guessing it is the voids between the multiple Cheerios not keeping things tight.
So with that said I will use fiber filler wads in my 10ga reloads and Cheerios in 12ga to shoot 3/4 ounce loads. Paul I am using AA hulls in 12ga with the CB-0178 wad, MEC bushing 27 for 15.7 grains of Red Dot. With 3/4 ounce they need the Cheerio filler to crimp correctly. |

Pete, somehow I got a double post [ brain fart ]. I had to adjust the final crimp on my old Mec87 Grabber a couple of times with a Remington hull. Usually the Win. hull reloads the same but maybe not with only 3/4oz. I'll try and find a Win to reload. What powder you useing in the 10ga ? Paul

Instead of using Cheerios or filler wads I've been using Polish Peanuts (the packing stuff). Just figgure out about how much you need and use an Exacto knife and cut off and place on top of shot charge. If it is a little too much it is compressable but still fills out the crimp and they weigh next to nothing so should not change internal pressure of shell by very much.

You can have your "cremains" (ashes) loaded into bullets or shotgun shells and Kathy has instructions to have mine loaded into shells of various gauges so my friends can take me out shooting after I'm gone. Problem is, I'll still probably miss.... even with you aiming
But I think that would make a pretty decent filler, don't you? |

Yeah, I think they would work good. Inserting your ashes into shells to have your friends & family shoot them is a sure way to "go out in a bang". A 25 straight in skeet, a few doubles pins earned, and a big fat duck shot from over 50 yards and other amazing shots that will make people talk about you for a long time to come.

I'm told there was a man who had his ashes put in a container in the bottom of a canvasback decoy, which was cast afloat on the Chesapeake Bay, with a brass plate asking the finders to simply cast it off again, so the man could enjoy the Bay forever
