Mike,
Your press must not be progressive.(?) I loaded some with my 9000g but couldn't figure out how to use the wad guide and punch to seat the insert. When the handle comes up the shell holder rotates that shell out from under the wad punch. I think I will be better off using my old Texan, so that I can do as you said.
Think I will try punching the holes in the inserts and compare the two loads on the pattern plate. If the modified insert works just as well it will be much faster loading, not having to top off the load with the shot on top.
All my best, Stan
