Don, the DX12 wad is made by Gualandi in Italy--but I bet it's the one you're using since it's about the only effective one piece spreader wad out there. Your patterns seem to bear out my experience with the wad--very effective at the range you cite. I renew my words of caution that you need to be sensible about where to use it--i.e. don't overuse it for shots at too long a range. Keith
