A search for 'Hog Cruncher' on this forum should turn up a .570" Tri-Ball load information that Mr. Gates used before the .60" one he has now. I've loaded both.

I've loaded both, plus a hybrid, and all of them keep all 3 balls on my "Standard Shotgun Cardboard Target" at 50 yards. The SSCT measures 7 5/8" X 11 7/8" which happens to be the exact measurements of the cardboard divider used in 24-Pack soda and beer cartons. What a coincidence!!! :D
