| I compared my pattern from this wad to the 3/4 oz CB0175-12, keeping everything else the same: light load of 15 gr Titewad, AA-HS hulls, 3/4 oz Eagle Magnum 8 1/2 shot, distance of 25 yd, Cylinder barrel. The CB wad gave about 30 inches diameter as expected, while the Spark gave a 20 inch, dense cluster with very few flyers. Kind of amazing.
Also, this wad seems fine in the tapered HS hull. I cut an empty in half just above the metal, and the base of the wad was able to go up into the hull, base-first. Snug, but not too snug to press down on the powder. On my MEC, I have the wad pressure set so that the plunger spring moves just about 1/16 inch when I seat. I hope to compare them with a chrono. |
