Anyone using polywads in any loads? LDPE or PVC wads that is.

Only on top of black powder! The powder needs compressed and the powder, wad and boolit need to be all in contact.
If used with smokeless I would make sure the powder fills enough of the case to keep the wad in contact with the boolit also. I don't like the idea of a second projectile in the case.

Frogs as fillers. Interesting idea but I reckon the legs would inhibit loading. [smilie=1:

Jeff,

You know, I think that everyone goes through a stage where they try .... just ..... about everything that comes down the pike. Some things offer advantages to you that someone else will say ain't worth a darn. Just as soon as you think you found the holly grail, either it fails for you, or along comes the next wild haired scheme.

Anymore, I am just plain getting lazy. I don't have the time and I don't have room for all that darn crap either. Clear it out and you have room for more molds and the important stuff. I just develop loads and use good lubes, mold and size to handle the pressure so that I don't have to shove anything that don't fall from a tumbler in that case if I don't wanna. And I don't wanna.

Funny thing is that works too. And then it don't. See the pattern?

If you need it to solve a problem, by all means use it. Or not.
