OK, I have some 12 gauge Polywad inserts coming.
I've cooked up a little ass-periment for springtime. It will take until then, I don't shoot in the winter at this time for a variety of reasons, the main one being I don't like to drive in the winter and besides I'll need some helpers.
I'll enlist a few of my shooting buddies for a short string of shoots at Low 7. They won't be aware of what I'm investigating. I'll load the Polywad insert with and without a layer of shot on top and mix them up. I plan a box of each.
They will be graded from 0-5 as far as break quality, and estimated by another team of eggsperts as to distance past the stake. I'm intending a 21-25 yard test.
I'll fire 10 control rounds with the same load built without the insert just to prove to my own secret self that I can center that target with the gun in use. I expect a grade of '5' for all those. My barrel will be a factory Browning Modified.
Comments, suggestions, predictions? I know what I expect to find, but I'll report honestly. I'll use an ounce of hard 8's. Any donut or holes big enough to allow an on edge clay target to get through should show up.
