The Wad in the Federals seems to be a necessary evil , we are not talking steel shot here , this stuff is harder than the barrel , tungsten is known for being the ingredient in knife sharpeners - Launch that down a barrel at 1300 fps with a ordinary wad and you may perform some "groovy" work on your choke or barrel -
the wad can be made to perform excellent , its just not going to be as easy as usual
The average forum board member here doesn't exactly represent the average consumer of shogun shells , and that is where the companies aim their products for - average guys , making a compulsive purchase on the endcap of a isle in a sporting goods store 1 week before opening week
If this was true then wouldn't 18g/cc TSS be tearing up barrels left and right?
like mentioned they most people are doing it the right way I guess with the reloading , but I cant lend any experience in that aspect , I do however remember seeing a choke posted up here at one time that was gouged badly , I don't know what the situation was , all I saw was a picture of a choke , so I cant and don't want to lend any wild speculation or accusations like others like to do sometimes - I have great respect and fear of explosive devices , and so do others here ,so I suggest that all recipes be tested , and be run by someone who is very knowledgeable , so that certainly excludes myself and by a good long shot - Again its not baking cookies , its explosives ----everyone be careful , please -
