3. Chosen volumetric shot pellet charge
4. One over-shot wad
6. Buckshot wads
a. There are two types of wads which can be used with buckshot.
1. Independent wads with larger size buckshot, such as #0, #00 and
#000 will give generally better pattern performance.
2. One-piece plastic wad with smaller buckshot size pellets, such as
#1, #2, #3 and #4. Do not use a one-piece plastic wad with #0,
#00, or #000 buckshot. To do so will result in poor pattern
performance.
7. Single Projectile Wad
a. Surround the .690 round ball with a lubricated cloth patch of suffi-
cient thickness to create a gasket seal.
b. No wad is used with the .690 round ball. Use of any form of wad will
decrease efficiency and could result in excessive pressure.
CAUTION: Do not substitute an independent over-powder wad for
the over-shot wad. Do not substitute a filler wad for an over-shot
wad. Do not use a cloth patch, loose cloth or loose paper as a sub-
stitute for an over-shot wad.
