I want to shoot 3/4 oz though. Problem is I have thousands of leftover 7/8 oz wads and I don’t want to buy 3/4 oz wads until I use up what I have. I have heard of reloaders dropping Cheerio’s into their shells to help with stack height ...
- Loaded My First Cheerio Loads. | Page 2 | Shotgun ForumsI have already gone through a whole box and am on the half box of whole wheat cheerios my wife refuses to finish off. What a mess separating shot from compacted cereal in my mistakes. Think I’ll skip trying to burn through all the 7/8 oz. wads and cut my loses by buying 3/4 oz wads. On the plus side my barrels seem well fed.

Changed the recipe to ~20grs 700X with a 12S0 wad instead of the 12S3 wad it called for and used 1 1/8oz shot and it loaded perfectly. So I guess to use only 1 oz of shot I need to find a 7/8 oz wad to keep the shot column at the right height.
