However, my oldie SxS guns with old-fashioned Full and fuller chokes are useless to me under any circumstances using my reloads with the modern one piece wads.
Interesting.....I reload using Gualandi one piece wads that only cover roughly 1/2 of the shot within the cup....Allowing the shot column to act just as it does in loads using "old fashioned" traditional wads therefore the patterns I am seeing are about the same at the patterning board when comparing the two wad types, Gualandi plastic versus traditional fiber, from the same gun, which is where it counts I believe......
This wad design is explained quite nicely on most of the sale sites that sell Gualandi wads, as it was designed with this purpose in mind since most European countries still shoot the antique/vintage guns without butchering the bores....
I am using these same Italian wads for my 12, 16 and 20 gauge guns......love the patterns utilizing the "old-fashioned" choking in my vintage Full and Fuller and Full and Modified choked guns.......and the birds sure go down fast
and farther out if need be.......JMO......
