Which shell is wider when using in a gun with tighter chokes. Considering using one or other for grouse/woodcock. Also would the RST shells be better? Thanks

no hard, fast rule here...
each guns performs differently with different ammo...
time to set up your pattern board an have at hit...
and, of course report back to us with results...

The Double Wide is considered to be the companion low pressure load with the Vintager and operates at lower pressure than the SpreadR. The Double Wide is available in 2.5" only. SpreadR is in both 2.5 and 2.75. I have used the Double Wide for many seasons in 16 ga. out of my older doubles. It performs fine. RST makes a good shell as well.

Shot quality and size are important also. One ounce of reclaimed 7.5/8 shot will perform differently than an ounce of copper 7.5's.

Best thing to do is try both and compare results. Personally, I found that the Polywad SpredR's spread more than the RST's. But it might come down to how much spread you want. If you get too much too soon, you can end up running out of pattern sooner than you want to.

When Ballistic Products had a cheap shipping window I ordered some 12 gauge "Dispersor-X" wads. This is a Guilandi wad--a brand that I like.
Haying season and new home construction is getting badly into my shooting time but I'll build some loads next winter and report. I have a Rem model 32TC (two triggers!) that I want to shoot trap doubles with but full and full exceeds my skill level!

I have loaded and shot the Disperser X wad and was surprised how well it worked. Turned a Mdl 21 full choke to IC from 20-30 yds. Strange thing is, after 30 yds you couldn't tell the difference between the x wad loads and regular loads with a normal wad.

I have patterned both types in my 16 Fox, Parker gh. and German guns Pattern was opened but had holes that a clay would fit.

At the 16ga. forum site, a handloader offered an innovation in loading spreaders that improved performance. He would hold back an 1/8 oz. of the load, insert the Polywad disc/post on top of the remaining shot, cover the disc with the held back 1/8 oz. shot and place an OSC on top and roll crimp. Polywad sells the disc/post separately for handloaders. Gil
