Next Project - 20 gauge Fiber Wad Loads
Yeah I know, it's me again, can't be happy with standard operating procedures. So here is the question. When I was a kid the BEST squirrel and quail loads I had were 20 gauge, paper shell, #6, 7/8 ounce, 2-1/2 dram loads, with fiber wads. no plastic shot cup. I kid you not these were the best shooting rounds I ever fed through a shotgun and I can't find anything today that comes close (well anything I can afford anyway). Heavy field loads, mag loads, ultra fast loads, "standard" loads, none of them seem to do the job like those old paper shells did. So where does a fella go about getting the information for loading up fiber wad loads these days? Not necessarily out of paper shells (since all of mine have long since returned to the earth) but the loads even in modern shells? I know that RST makes effectively this original load at $135 a case, but #1 I don't have that right now, and #2 ever since I reloaded my first metallic case I have been hooked on rolling my own.
Real downside - all I have is a Lee load-all is 20gauge, and my mec 600jr in 12 gauge was supposed to come back to me after a long term loan but lets just say its complicated and I don't expect to see it again. sooooo again opinions, facts, tips? Thanks again for puttin up with me! Richard
