3/4 oz target loads

1 oz, there's some dish to the crimp but not enough to leak shot. With AAs, I need a Cheerio. Zero wad pressure, IMO, makes the difference....
 
I do not use any wad pressure for ay load using a plastic integral wad/shot cup - it isn't necessary. Wad pressure is a holdover from the old days of felt wads and since folks still load with them and shot overcards, etc., it can be useful.

Dave - you might want to call ClayBuster - they'll send you a sample of 25 to try for no charge of any of their wads. This pink one is giving me some great crimps and performance. I am wondering if the chrono'd low speed was due to the gun bleeding off too much of what pressure/gas there was in order to make it work......but I am also going to bump the load to 17.5 - which should get me where I need to go. I will also chrono my current loads in my O/U to see if the speed stays the same
 
Thanks, I'll give them a call forthwith. I need to load up some 3/4 oz stuff for a family member's intro to clays, so this is right on time.
