I have a mess of T-42 wads, today I did some looking to see if there was any load data for shells other then Active . This site was the only reference at all and one person mentioned Federal Gold medal hulls have same capacity while someone else said they are tapered ?
I have not that many Active shells I had been using a 1 5/8oz load in them and gone to softer shooting loads as I age . However my son is looking for some heavy loads for pests , coyotes, and whatever.
To buy some T-42 wads back before the internet the only place that would even order them wanted me to buy 1000 (4 bags) I still have about 3 1/2 bags left ! Wads were cheap back then I forget how much but it was nothing compared to todays prices ! I also recently bought 5 pounds of HS7 powder that is good for such heavy loads .
