Still learning on loading 26.5mm varmint loads

I think the trick is to use some cushion wadding with holes drilled. I need to light the banger fuse but not blow it to confetti. The "lifting charge" was tried at 60 and 30 grs. FFg. Both blew the banger (50 grs. charge itself) into smithereens. I was concerned of using a charge to shoot a charge, and having it blow in the muzzle. But since it is not a sealing breach I guess they have it figured out.

It's still a little spooky, but I'm following instructions.
