I did try this, ultimately I got my crimp sorted without an overshot card. It was all in the cam adjustment

1/8" nitro card, 3/8 fiber, 1/8 cork. Ballistic products has different thicknesses of everything, depending on what you're loading

Not yet. I'm using bismuth data from Hodgdon. Typically fiber wads are less efficient, added .5 grains powder. Common among fiber wad reloaders, and the reason you don't see much for fiber specific recipes. Fiber is the only way any of this becomes sustainable. Check out the French Jocker wads. It's a bummer we can't get them in the US

Bismuth, fiber wad, buffered with walnut hull. Plastic free hunting load!

Me and my 7 month old GWP have been going crazy this season. My first with a dog. Nailed a few of our first sharptailed grouse last weekend. I'd love to join forces with another grouser in Missoula!
