Ortolan's load is a wonderful "non boutique" load for modern guns. His mention of the SO Federal wad reminds me of another point. This excellent wad is superior to any other "big three" wad for 7/8 ounce loads because its constuction eliminates the tipped wad problem that sometimes haunts us with less well constructed wads. You just can't "tip" a Federal SO wad in any loader that I am aware of.
