I ordered some poly wads a bit ago, and finally got around comparing them to the wool I've been shooting in my CVA conversation. It was a whopping 17 degrees here so it wasn't a long experiment. I fired 5 shots each over my chrony.
60 grains h4198
Federal mag primer
250 grain fury
Wool wad.
Accuracy was 1.5" at 100 with a adv velocity of 2368 fps, with a spread of 78 fps..
Same load , only difference was a poly wad instead of wool.
Group size was 1"
Velocity for 5 shots adv 2537 fps with 33fps spread between.
I know accuracy with both loads wasn't the best. I was frozen ( lol ) but from my little test it would seem the poly wads definitely seal better. Going to play with different loads when it gets warmer , plus curious if after a bit I get any plastic built up.
Any one else try poly wads in a smokeless ML. What was your experience...
