Hi all, I'm looking at a 16ga recipe that calls for Fiocchi hulls and a SP16 wad. I was wondering if this combo will lead to any powder migration using Longshot powder? If so, what's a method for stopping powder migration? Can you use an OS card on top of the powder without any pressure increase?
Thanks as always!

| You need to use Gulandi 16ga wad with fine grain powder and straight wall cases. |

| NO! Find a load that has those components. there are lists on a yahoo site that another member can direct you to. I dont know how to do it. Some one who does will see this and post it. or ask Skeetx he knows everything. |
