There's a recipe in the Low Pressure group's data base for

Fiocchi Hull
Fiocchi 616 Primer
WWAA16 wad
Green Dot 18.5 oz
1 Oz shot.

I can't get the load to crimp right on my PW 375C. But if I switch the wad to the Z16 I get a perfect crimp.

Has anyone used the Z16 with Green Dot in Fiocchi for a 1 oz load?

Any help appreciated.

BPI has a load using 20 grains of green dot and Z-16 wad. You should be allright with the load you're using with the Z-16 wad.

I'm sure he made a typing error there. He should have no problems getting a good crimp with 18.5 grains of green dot. I get a good crimp using 20 grains. He may need afiller with the waa16 wad. I've never used them.
