So, a friend has provided me some components to experiment with. Cushion wads, over powder and over shot. Question is which are the over powder and which are over shot. One is thicker. Think I know but just checking.

Don't use the shot cup... it just made the photographing of the process easier. I hoped it would work well with this loading method but did not.

@Brokennock Thanks 
Used to buy my "rubber rain covers at the drugstore. You don't need the "lubricated" kind.
I use thin over shot and thick over powder. This is what I was taught after years of doing it the other way. I always just thought the thick one would hold the shot from spilling better???

OK, so the answer I gave was w/o Skycheif.
Skycheif ya put yer wad (thick) over the powder (some use 1, 2 4 or however many) thin cards instead. Then the shot then the soaked narly oilsoaked wad in last. I always put a reg thin over shot card in before the oil soaked wad myself. Use Skycheif as a base and experiment, each gun different. MOST like the system though.
There a sticky up on this?
