I have an old "Powder Wheel" for Red & Green Dot powder. This has a selection for powder charge, payload and hull, what it doesn't have is any reference to wads.

Has anyone else seen or used one of these?

Scott: maybe a picture would jar some responses. I have no idea what you are talking about.

TF33 engine part - yes sir, have been a process/manufacturing engineer since the mid 90's, focusing on hot section parts.

RAM Missile System for me. I make a bunch of parts for the Loading System and various parts around the launcher.

My current work platforms are:
Apache
F16
F15
C130
C5
C17
F35

All of these are ground support maintenance items.
I was just in the LM F35 plant late last year and walked the assembly line. DFW in August wasn't my idea of a good time.

The wads are listed, they're just not recognizable as modern wads. "Alcan Plastic" hasn't existed for many years, unless you find some at a flea market.

It sounds like obsolete loading data, that should be avoided.

Summer time in Texas mad me hate summers. If the hunting wasn’t so good, I’d move.

This is my platform. RAM Launcher. Rolling Airframe Missile Launcher. Basically Sidewinders with different guidance system.

I have actually worked on the one in the firing pic, it is at Port Hueneme and is the Test Launcher for the West Coast, and it is fully functional.
