SPW - Sabot Pressure Wad. This one unit piece incorporates a sabot, aerodynamic vortex, double chevron cushion, and gas seal. There is no other single unit piece available nor a sabot/wad team so aerodynamically designed to create a longer in flight profile to produce the precision results as is called for in the shooting industry today. We are sure you will find this product to be the most exceptional sabot slug that you have had the pleasure of shooting.

Suggested loading information is included with every order. You can design loads to your specifications. Not all shooters are looking for the same results, but are shooting for the same target - accuracy. Load for your preferences. You will find that when you are loading for velocity and a flat trajectory pressures can tend to be down from the norm of other wads due to the double chevron of the SPW. Therefore with some loads you will enjoy lower recoil and better performance than what is found in factory loaded ammunition - Just another little design benefit. There are no velocity restrictions on the SPW. It works equally as well at 1600 fps and beyond as it does at 1000 fps. You choose the velocity you wish to shoot and the energy you wish to deliver. (Additional loading data can be found in the Lyman Shotshell 4th Edition Reloading Handbook under or 1 1/4 oz, 12ga slugs just by doing weight comparisons.) TIP: It is not necessary to have a 1/28" twist rate barrel to use the SPW. A 1/34" twist rate barrel produces the same results due to the special design of the SPW.)

(NOTE: The slug compartment is splined to hold the slug in place guaranteeing maximum rotational spin to the bullet from the barrel rifling therefore increasing the accuracy.)

SPWs ARE FOR RIFLED BARREL SHOTGUNS ONLY

Key Benefits

	Splined holding compartment allows for maximum rotational spin from rifling to the slug - no slipping
	Total Ejection Weight = 1Ľ oz. for higher bullet coefficient creating a flatter down range trajectory
	Double Chevron for lower recoil curve
	Aerodynamic Vortex for added in flight stability and adding back drag
	Pure lead Hammerhead slug for optimum penetration, expansion - no fracturing
	Specialized polymer material to withstand temperatures well below 0°C

Slug Doctor Personal Loads & Helpful Hints for 12GA & 20GA SPW

Cheddite Hulls were used and are recommended in loading the following:

12GA 2 3/4" Reduced Recoil Load: 17 grains Green Dot - 1,050 fps
12GA 2 3/4" Average Recoil Load: 34 grains IMR 4756 = 1,300 fps
12GA 2 3/4" Max capacity Load: 38.5 grains IMR 4756 = 1,450 fps
12GA 2 3/4" Load: 36.5 grains Herco = 1,400 fps
12ga 3" Load: 40 grains IMR 4756 = 1,500 fps

With Cheddite Hulls, maximum finished cartridge length for 2 3/4" hulls = 2.435"

With Cheddite Hulls, maximum finished cartridge length for 3" hulls = 2.640"

___________________

1. 20GA 2 3/4" or 3" Velocity 1,350 fps: 23.0 grains IMR 4756

2. 20ga 2 3/4" or 3" Velocity 1,420 fps: 27.0 grains IMR 4756

3. 20ga 2 3/4" or 3" Velocity 1,450 fps: 28.0 grains IMR 4756

4. 20ga 2 3/4" or 3" Velocity 1,510 fps: 30.0 grains IMR 4756

With Cheddite Hulls, maximum finished cartridge length for 2 3/4" hulls = 2.330"

With Cheddite Hulls, maximum finished cartridge length for 3" hulls = 2.590"

	Best accuracy will be achieved if all loaded shells (of same powder charge) be of equal finished length
	Whichever load you choose, remember that the nose of the slug must not protrude beyond the roll crimp on the hull
	Always use straight wall hulls
	For 12ga - Total ejection weight is 1 1/4 oz.
	For 20ga - Total ejection weight is 15/16 oz.
