Overshot card on top of full bore slug in brass case ?
03/06/10 10:19 PM

Hello,

Any thoughts on putting an overshot card (10 ga.) on top of a slug, to keep it in the brass shell.
I am using Magtech 2.5" brass shells, powder, 2x cards, wad, card, wad, 2x cards, slug (1 1/4 oz) then crimping on the top band of the slug.
My problem is the slug is sized to 0.726" the brass is 0.755" at the mouth.
So I am having to crimp the **** out of the brass to keep the slug in.
I just picked up some 10 ga. overshot cards and was planning to use one of these on top of the slug and less crimp to hold the card / slug in.
Or even no crimp, card is pretty tight in the case mouth, maybe a little elmer's.

Any thoughts, experience ?

My one concern is the slug not staying centered in the case, accuracy ?
My next concern is the card in front of the slug, obstruction ?
My last concern is the card in front of the slug, accuracy ?

Thanks
Nitro
