Here on planet lock-down I have dug out that old mec 20ga to see what could be done. I have a question I don't remember running across before. I have some ballistic products SG20M Sporting 20ga wads which should hold a published 3/4 to 7/8 oz of 7.5 shot. For the life of me I can only fit barely 5/8 in there. Whats the deal? My understanding was always that the shot had to be in the wad to protect it from the barrel, do I just pile it on till I get to 7/8? Someone shed some light on this for me please.
