I ran out of TGT12 wads for my 1 ounce loads. So I just reloaded several boxes of 1 ounce shells using the Figure 8 wad. I could not tell the difference in the appearance of the completed shell. The crimps were good. I load STS hulls using 17.5 grains of Red Dot powder. I am in the process of ordering wads. My question is why should I order 2 different types of wads when one will do the job? Although the Figure 8's are for 1 1/8 oz. loads; why can't a person use this wad for 1 oz. loads if the shell turns out ok ?? Is there a perfomance issue that I am not aware of? I could understand there might be a problem loading 1 1/8 oz loads using a 1 oz wad; as the shot would overfill the cup. However this will not happen if you use the 1 1/8 oz wads. Thanks. Ed
