Hey guys,

Thanks for all the suggestions and input so far.

Daryl, I didn't see those threads, but I wish I had. When I asked around on some other forums about developing/working up a shotgun load, all I got told was that it was rediculous, can't be done, and that I was going to die. Not helpful at all, to say the least.

As for the fiber wads vs plastic wads, the only reason I was hesitant to switch was because I know how "changing wads changes pressures " blah blah blah, as many of the naysayers like to point out, but I didn't know if fiber wads would increase or decrease pressures. If you are certain that a fiber wad decreases pressures due to a lesser seal (and I won't disagree with that logic, as it makes sense), then it would be worth doing, and I will certainly be testing that out.

Regarding round ball molds, I recently emailed Mr. Tanner, and am waiting to hear back from him. The bore on my shotgun is a definite .729", so I would like to get a .730" round ball mold. I've heard of guys using the .735, but with the ball having to swage down .006", I think that would cause pressures to increase. Whether that increase is negligable or not, I'm not sure at this point.

I'm currently using a home-made roll crimper to crimp my loads, for what it's worth. Makes it really easy to see what slug you have loaded.

I love to experiment, but I do know that shotguns are a little bit more touchy than rifles when it comes to reloading. Hence why I really appreciate all the input you experienced guys are imparting. It really is a nice change from the "Why would you do that? That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. You're going to die and blow your gun up and void the warranty and blah blah blah". So thank you for the refreshing change.
