TYPE: (taper = 1, straight = 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 oz.) 12 gauge lead target & light game. Ideal for trap, skeet, sporting clays, and game loads in 1-ounce, 1-1/8 & 1-1/4 ounce range in straight-wall hulls and 1-ounce in tapered hulls. We prefer using this wad for longer distance clays shots and light field shots. VP13 overall is 1.700” in length with a multi-folding cushion section (.720”), a shotcup .750” deep with four “quick-opening” petals. The gas seal is the standard Helarco deep-set .730” diameter & .155” deep. The VP13 wad reloads best with 1 to 1-1/8 ounce lead in straight-wall (Fiocchi, MultiHull, Federal) shotgun hulls and 1-ounce with taper-wall hulls (Win WAA-HS & Rem STS) target hulls and a few selected 1-1/8 ounce loads with compact fast burn-rate powders (e.g., Titewad). The propellants utilized in straight-wall hulls in 1-1/8 ounce loads are typical fast burn-rate powders and a few intermediate burn rate propellants. Current velocity charts show a range of 1080 FPS to 1290 FPS in 1-1/8 ounce loads.
