While getting things ready for the winter ( keep me busy with things to do ) season. Since I taper off on my shooting cause hate.the weather below 50* I use that time to get things ready for the spring season. Although I do shoot alittle during winter but very little. I start my time in getting my claybuster wads expanded. I was curious about the dimensions of the euro, DR, Claybuster.
The expansion ring on thr diameter of the euro and DR, and claybuster is all most identical as far as keeping powder migration. Lots of play inside all the hulls. The are around the outside edge of the shotbed is alittle bigger what makes the the wad appear tighter to the inside hull. Now I flare an expansion area at the over powder area but it does not stop all migration. But what i was surprised most was the other wads almost identical to the claybuster wad without the flare. The cot of those wads is considerable more.To check the wad to hull I cut the hull below the crimp ring then insert the wad and you can feel the large gap of play.
Now I am checking hull that have been fired 2,3,4 times not once fired. This is with cheddite hulls and the purple herter hull. However I do not shoot low pressure amo for trap games. Maybe the low pressure hulls don't expand. I don't know. Old 16. |
