"What components?" should be answered in the abbreviations legend. From what I can tell, various powders, Cheddite primers, Ballistics Products wads and it appears to take two different ones at once, one with felt cushion between

I bopped over to Ballistic products website and it made more sense.. it's a two-piece wad setup.. base/cup

Sure, but even in those books some of them are BP products, you just have to find them

Real high end is what it's for.. think "the guys with the $10,000 Perazzi's shooting 3 x 300 over the course of a tournament. Then shoot another 300 bird tie-breaker."

What size hull? Is this to take up room in a 3” hull? Using a dedicated gas check can help with a better pattern and cleaner burn.
