Has ANYBODY found a good, reliable load for these? I'm talking the new ones with the HUGE internal capacity, not the older rolled paper base ones. Those worked well.
I know they're not a preferred hull, so please abstain from the "leave them there and shoot gun clubs" comments. Gun club shells are relatively rare here 30 miles from the Federal Cartridge factory, so when I do find them, they are saved for reusable loads. I have need here for a "leave them where they land" shell for doubles and such, and these are the only one commonly available that I don't wish to save.
I've been experimenting with them for awhile, and cant get a 100% consistent load. I get mostly good loads, but an occasional soft shot. Have tried 12s3, 12s0 with the best success, and a few others with poor to erratic results, all with Red Dot /Promo.
I have some Promo left to work with, and WST going forward.
