| I just purchased some 16 gauge REM/UMC thin-walled brass shells and want to reload them. I ordered 14 gauge wads from Circle Fly. What and how much powder do you use for 7/8 and/or 1 ounce of lead? |

| I have heard that 70-75 grains of FFFG or 75-80 grains of FFG seem to work pretty well. Yes, I understand that one uses an over-powder wad and a cushioning wad. |
