I've been looking for information on loading smokeless power with fibre wads and it seems few and far between. I'm wondering if I could use fibre wads instead of plastic wads for any reload recipe. Given pressure from a fibre wad is less than plastic, all things otherwise equal, if I choose a recipe with plastic that was within the pressure range I am looking for would I be safe to say if I exchanged it for fibre the pressure would be somewhat less and still safe to shoot?
After spending much of this year learning to load fiber wads, the answer is no. We speak about fiber as if it it is all the same, and the only thing that matters is "fiber". That is not how it works. For example, I created one load that reached 18kpsi using fiber and a reasonable amount of Red Dot.
