I wonder if you could use a 1/4" fiber wad or card under the sp8 wad then with the 1.5oz loads all the shot would be contained inside the wad? I havnt played around with any of the 1.5oz loads since I dont have any powder besides Bluedot.

The object here is to use something that’s simple as long as it works . And using the beans as a filler is simpler and quicker than fooling with card spacers .

I will be there to shoot my eight on the five stand. I shot 50 five stand birds with my lightweight DH eight at our club on Sunday with some 7/8 ounce 12 gauge loads out of chamber inserts. The 7/8 ounce loads seemed to catch the eight gauge chokes because I hit some long birds. I can't even catch up with my 12 gauge loading, so my eight gauge loads are a bit in the future. It will be nice when Morris gets the eight gauge project underway.

Bill
where did you find the 8 to 12ga chamber inserts, nice idea if they work ok.

[Bill Murphy]

All of my eight gauge chamber inserts were hand made by a person who no longer makes them. I don't know how to find eight gauge inserts now. Someone should make them now, considering the eight gauge interest.

I ve seen them on ebay from time to time....gauge mates use to make and sell them....charlie

[charlie cleveland]

bill that light weight 8 ga is almost like cheating..ha good luck with the shooting I wish I could be there with my short barrel lifter 8 ga 27 1/4 inches...who ever cut the barrels really done a good job on it...the keels look factory done it....nice scatter gun....charlie

I will be at the southern and would seriously consider making inserts if there is enough interest. I will also have my dent removing tool which is guaranteed not to bulge a bbl. and various parts for sale

Louis: I would buy a two pair of 8ga to 10ga inserts sized for a Parker 8g chamber. Craig Larter
