Description:

The MG42 has a wide ranging number of practical load uses including steel, and lead.  The cushion section allows the loader to adjust the wad height to accommodate various load capabilities.  Used for upland lead, steel shot target loads, and steel field loads. The MG42 features two molded slits for hunting patterns.

TECH NOTE:

When using this wad and loading on a MEC 12ga press, consider purchasing and installing the MEC 16ga Rammer Tube – p/n 130505B-16.  This will eliminate the wad sticking as is encountered with the standard 12ga Rammer Tube.  Use of the 16ga Rammer Tube with non-toxic shot may cause some jamming in the tube which would require some gentle taps to the side of the tube upon extraction from the hull.

Alternatively, you can seat the wad by hand with the help of our handy Wad Nudges.
