In response to Kutter, if you put a card wad under the plastic shot cup, it eliminates the melting problem.
Yes, good point. That'll keep the plastic wad from feeling most all the heat of the BP ignition and avoid it melting down on you.
But I was trying to find a quick & simple(?) one piece plastic substitute wad instead of using any card or fibre at all.
A couple people said to try those plastic wads exclusively used in loading steel shot,,but I never did get around to it.
Maybe they were just guessing they'd work,,,maybe they were on to something,,don't know..
I was most likely looking for a solution to a non-existing problem as I had/have plenty of card & fibre wads and didn't load anywhere near the volume of shells w/them that I really needed anything to speed things along.
Finding a hull that didn't melt with the BP sub helped though.
Makes me want to dig the stuff out and load a couple boxes for skeet next week.
Excellent fun w/the Model 97.
