shot cards
The shot cards i bought have a flat side and a concaved side,which is the powder side? i tried wads in my old renegade once and saw no improvement in accuracy and both sides were flat lol?i bought these for use with hotter powders like 777 loose. Ray

Gees Ray, I have never seen something like that. I use the the flat .510x.125 shot cards in my side hammers - not necessarily for accuracy but to insulate the bottom of the lead Bull Shop from the heat of the T7 and + it keeps the lube from contaminating the powder on warmer days...

Just a sec...
Just looked at my new bag - I think i do have just a slight cup in them.
Those are excellent shot cards though anyway they have been for me.
I would probably load then up so that the flat base of the bullet would push down on the wad - probably makes absolutely no difference..

I would load the flatter side down against the powder with the cupped side facing up. They may load easier this way too.
But loading it both ways could be tried easily enough.
