So, my "new" quail gun is regulated for slow 1 oz. loads, at about 1100-1150 fps. Dean Harris determined this for me. I thought, no problem, I'll just reload them. Got plenty of everything already on hand. Or, so I thought.

Tried the recipes in Lyman handbook for 17 gr. 7625 and for 15.5 gr. Unique. Using a WAA20 wad for an old style WW compression formed hull, as called for, it won't work. No way to crimp with a full 1 oz. shot in there, too full. It appears I need a shorter wad. Any ideas or suggestions? Only hulls on hand are the old style WW compression formed.

Please, no recommendations for less than an ounce of shot, or m.v. above 1165 fps.

Thanks, SRH

May God bless America and those who defend her.
