That's it, Stan.

One tip is to seat the post through the wad guide; it seats squarely that way. Another is that you can make a 1/8 oz shot dipper from a 9mm cartridge case, maybe reduce the volume with a few file strokes. The real trick is to come up with the mix of components to get the right stack height and good crimps. At one time I would start with a proven 1 & 1/8 oz recipe and trim 1/8 inch off the petals of a Win or Rem 1 & 1/8 oz wad. That's the surest/quickest way for a beginner to construct a 1 oz spreader. Seems tedious, but I thought the results were well worth it. Factory spreaders have typically been loaded quite stout. I've found these loads to function fairly independently of velocity. Once I get the rhythm, I can load a box of spreaders on my 9000G in 4 minutes; a regular box is about 3 minutes.
