BPI WAD 20ga SPORT SHORT 7/8 to 1oz LEAD 250/BAG
Product Information
The SG20-S is designed to accommodate bulky powders, large shot payloads or low-volume tapered hulls. The shotcup of the SG20-S is the same depth as the SG20-L.
The cushion section of the SG20-S is comprised of a large tubular reducer that accommodates many different load heights and offers excellent inertia absorption during the firing process.
The best range for the SG20-S is approximately 25-45 yards, making it a great wad for upland game hunters and clays shooters alike. Our best results tend to be with 7/8-ounce lead loads although we often use 1 ounce of #6 or #7 for hunting loads.
PREFERRED APPLICATIONS
- Optimum range: 25-45 yards
- Mid-range utility loads
- High speed load production
- Going-away targets
Technical Note: The SG20 Series can be loaded with the X-Stream spreader for fantastic short-range spreader loads. (Wad petals must be removed prior to loading the X-Stream insert).

First time using these and I like them

I purchased these for 2.5" loads but discovered they also work great for home brew slug loads, with LEE minie ball bullets (not the REAL), with nitro Maxie card below the wad and thin felt cushion in the cup to support the cavity in the back of the minie ball, all in a 2.75" hull. Possibly the medium version of these would not need the nitro card? I'll have to try those next.

Great wads at a very reasonable price. I use them in 2 1/2" 20 ga. loads for my vintage guns with 7/8 oz shot loads. Solves the "too tall to crimp properly" issue frequently encountered with short vintage gun loads.
