You gentlemen with your fancy measuring devices, have you looked at the dimensions of this wad to determine if the are simply a less voluminous version of the CB10016?

I was thinking of loading up some using a CB10016 load I have for 7/8 oz. In the past it always required fill using the CB10016.

I have other CB007816 recipes, but wanted to use some open powder I have instead.

It is the same wad, but it has a small plastic bump added in the base of the shot cup, so it uses less shot.

What he said!! Cool

not to hijack this thread, but what can I use as a filler in the cb10016 to fill with 7/8 oz of shot

If the only difference between the regular wad and the reduced capacity wad is a filled in portion in the shot cup, seems to me the situation is the same as the regular wad with a plastic foam spacer placed under the shot.

Kennedy,

I've used over shot cards, stolen my son's generic brand Cheerios, the cardboard cut out of the cereal box, and navy beans among my fill materials.

From others' posts on these two Claybuster wads, I understand the 7/8 ounce version is best used for one ounce loads in Cheddite type and Federal hulls w/o filler wads, while the one ounce version works for 1-1/8 ounce loads in the same hulls, again w/o filler wads. The same two wads work well as designated in the Remington RGL hulls for 7/8 and one ounce loads w/o filler wads. So we have two more very versatile 16 ga wads at our disposal. That's always good news.

so I cut some cardboard disks, and put under the shot, now better crimps and no more pellets rattling around inside
