This base wad is just a tapered plastic pin, which the Lyman pellet slug sits on. The pin holds slug centered in the bore, and the hull crimp holds it in place. .the slugs I used are .680 diameter. Courtesy of rancher..they weigh in at 502 grains..no lead touches the barrel, no sheared wad petals, and hopefully as testing progresses, more consistency shot to shot without the fliers..
Load was steel powder, x12x, hard card, base wad then slug, federal white hull, fold crimp. I shot these out of a benelli m1 semi auto with a bead sight..75 yds...I found 2 of the base wads 50 yds down range. So I think they are staying with the slug for a while. I haven't recovered slugs yet.
Base wad should work with any hollow base slug. As long as plastic peg matches base. Lee key drives are next.. D
