To add to what tw advises, Downrange Manufacturing's Pattern Control Post wad (probably a copy of the unavailable Remington Power Piston Post is claimed to increase patterns aboutf 3" at 30yds. Back awhile a couple of us were experimenting with Bill Murphy's suggestion that adding a small piece of Tygon tubing over the post would reduce the volume for shot charge to 1 oz. Seemed to me the wad worked pretty well as a spreader with or without the bushed post. If you load 1 1/8oz for S.C. it should open your full/full. 1969 Lyman manual states that the comparable Remmy wad was useful for opening patterns in full choked trap guns (probably for 16yd). I think Lenard Lempky was the first to suggest pieces of soda straw stuck in the shot. I like home-fabricated cardboard Xs also but don't like making them. There are some other types of dispersor wads available also. None of these fixes will lead the bores; if you like complication, you could also cut off shotcup petals and let the barrel walls create the flat shot for dispersion. Hey tw, when you gonna loan me one of them "raye bores" so I can find out for myself. :P
