Default RE: Wad Pressure

i set my wad pressure at next to nothing and just let the weight of the shot set the wad on the charge. Ive played with wad pressure in my earlier years of shot shell reloading and found the way i explained is the best way in the sense of recoil, i found with more wad pressure the harder the loads will kick. also found with light and standard trap loads that if you use to much wad pressure it pushes the wad cushion down to far and it doesnt always spring back up enough to allow the shells to crimp properly. good luck
