Filler Wads

[Hellbender]

What's preferred? Under the shot or over the shot?

I have used felt fillers both above and below in my steel shot loads spiked with tss and found little to no difference in pattern. So now I just put on top as it's easier.

If must resort to using fillers, put them on the bottom for lower pressure. If you want to do what I do, substitute the next smaller sized wad of the same style called for in the recipe. If the recipe calls for a 1.0 oz wad, sub a .875 wad of the same style and it'll hold a 1.0 oz duplex load with a nice crimp.
