Muzzle loaders know that consistent wad pressure with the ram roc is one of the keys to accuracy .
Many hand loaders use a press when setting the wads so they can use the scale ,
With a bit of practice it's not difficult to get an even pressure, however .

I welded a washer on a carraige bolt and filed the top flat to act as a positive stop when seating the wads on my press. It takes the guess work out of this step, and I find it to be very consistent.As far as my load goes: 100grns ffg 1x nitrocard 1x 1/4" wad 1x nitro card 1 1/8 oz of # 7 1/2 shot in a once fired kent 2 3/4 plastic hull fold crimped sorry for the crappy pic
