They're slightly concave, but pretty darn good for 3/4 oz of shot and no fillers required. The 7/8 oz version of this load has perfect crimps.
I dropped down to the 3/4 oz version and have been shooting them all summer at skeet and sporting. They're rock solid consistent and reliably smash the clays as well as any 16 gauge load I've used. The International Clays is a nice clean powder, too.
They take the 20 gauge Gualandi 2025 wad, WW209 primer and a light dose of International clays. The 7/8 oz version of this load is in the 16 LPG data. I had that one tested and it runs at 9000 psi and 1220 fps. Great load for those of you with modern guns, and the 3/4 oz version is a real sweetie in my 6 pound Merkel 1620. |

A crimp thats dished in a bit don't make no difference. Breakin them clays and cookin birds do. Maybe you could send 500 of them here to NY. and I'll test um for free  Those are fine looking reloads |

| I received a good load from somebody in the reloading group. 7/8 oz,black Rem hull,18.5 gr solo 1250,R-16 wad,Rem primer, It crimps about the same with no filler. Its nice to skip that extra step. |

Add an overshot card and they would be perfect (flat). As is the clays or the grouse will not know the difference.
Some of mine look a bit shabby after the 4th or 5th reload, especialy the black Remington hulls.
Like your shell stacker; just stuff mine in coffee cans! |
