Propulsion Technologies has improved these wads with better quality, but the same great prices. Use the chart below to determine the appropriate load data for each wad. You'll find great data for all these wads in our Advantages and Status of Steel manuals.
Extra Protection:
If you are using larger steel shot (#3 or larger) or if you just want extra protection, we recommend that you use Mylar Wraps inside the shotcup.
DATA NOTICE: Do not use VP60 load data with the newly redesigned PT1260 wad. New data has been generated for this wad and will be supplied upon request with any purchase of PT1260 wads.
