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 -

Another thing to consider guys is that you can't hunt with #7s in some states much less a #8 if they added it. I thinkg they would be better off doing away with the Flight Control Wad and sticking with strait # shot. For what HEVI is selling the MAG-Blend for and the results people are getting I don't think Federal could compete and be cost effective for the consumer. IMO
