New 8ga recipe with Gualandi wad

[Craig Larter]

I developed this load to minimize leading. I call it a reverse stack load, very simple.
8ga Winchester Industrial 3 1/2" long
WW 209
22.7gr Clays
8ga .125 card ward over the powder, followed by 1/2" 8ga fiber wad, followed by Gualandi 8ga wad.
1 1/2oz #71/2 lead
6 fold crimp.
Average pressure: 7066psi
Average Velocity: 1163fps

I shot a bunch of these loads today and was very happy, no leading issue at all. It does make more confetti because the fiber wad is not contained by the plastic wad.

I’d like that wad a lot more if the shot cup were a bit deeper !

Me too. But loading the way I do in this load results in about the same amount of shot being contained in the plastic cup as the sp-10 with fillers added to the base.
