loading 12 gauge brass shotshells

[Gabriel Law]

Do you guys who use these shells use 10 gauge components (wads) in your 12 gauge brass shotshells?  I have both 12 gauge and 11 gauge wads, and neither of them give a tight seal in the shell.  I gave away all my 10 gauge wads a couple of years ago...what a dummy!

I use 11 gauge over powder and cushion wads and a 10 gauge overshot wad.

For what it's worth, I am using wads sold by BPI.

I use 11 gauge nitro cards and fiber wads.  The overshot card is the only 10 gauge component I use.  When I do use a shot cup, I don't worry about the fit.  I always use a nitro card over the powder for pressure.  The cup needs to fit the barrel, not the shell.

Thanks guys.  That's exactly what I needed to know.  I'm off to the races!
