I have the 2.5 ched 3/4oz Bp wad 20/28 loads from sheet but what about substituting the dr16 wad with same load instead of the felt wad filler in shot cup?
Anyone tried or tested? |

Jta5er,
Considering the loads you just posted with a maximum chamber pressure of 5,933, you could substitute any wad and be just fine. Use the DR16 in any of those loads with confidence.
I would definitely be sure that on a cold day the load fires properly, but since you are in Kentucky that probably won't be an issue. |
