Yes the brass cases definitely needs a nitro card rammed over the powder to keep consistent ignition. Even when I use a plastic wad I still use a thick nitro card as well.
Did you get a chance to try some cork tile wads? Did you end up having to round off the front of the rim to get a good action lock up?
