i finally found the rounds i made in my basement 2 weeks ago, so i took them out. i have .678 rb, aa hulls, red aa wads, 21 grains of unique (i believe, i need to check notes). i have one nitro card with buffer under the ball. And i am shooting them out of an 870 with a skeet choke .005. they were shooting 1050 fps but felt like they were faster? well they were shooting high not big deal. but the petals were cut on the wads. the base of the wad was ok, and the base of the cup but the petals were cut. the ball in the wad fits threw choke fine, but was trying to figure out why the petals had issues. the only thing i can think of is that the buffer was forced between the ball and and petals when fired and made the fit to tight. what do you guys think? i do not have a cylinder bore choke but need to get one. also i did not shoot for accuracy because i only made 5 rounds and some went threw the crony so i was thinking what changes i need so i was going to roll 25 up for the weekend. i am making an order for midway if you guys think a diffrent wad would work better with aa hulls.
thanks
