"Load of the Week" 05/15/09
More wonderful Helarco VP loads!
CURMUDGEON has been proudly blasting
Sporting Clays with 1 & 1-1/8 ounce lead #8 loads.
We asked him to point out the loads he
was using.
And here they are.
“C” reminds us many of the Helarco wads
have a deep accordion-style crush section.
Hairy-armed weightlifters may apply too
much muscle while reloading and crush the wad.
While cushion compression is part of
Helarco’s
clever design, crush is not.
The result of a proper load is soft,
even ignition often resulting in lower PSI readings and increased
velocities plus gentle pellet handling creating fine patterns.
