Plastic wad identification


Recommended Posts

Can anybody help to identify these wads,i got some a while back off another forum advertised as for using with Lee slug.I have used these for a while and they work just fine,i also have other wads claybuster copies of winchester ones which are also recommended for slug.

I recently bought a mossberg slugster which is stamped has having a .732 bore and the wads other than the unidentified ones are let's say a little loose in the barrel.post-2933-0-16107200-1420379930_thumb.jpg

That is the wad that was used for the Acetrace or Trutrace 12 bore tracer cartridge , It will have a small hole in it from the powder cup upto the shotcup , Ian charlton (Original owner of Clay and Game), bought all of their surplus wads when they stopped manufacture due to the owner getting badly burnt mixing the pyrotechnic tracer compound.

Get in touch with Clay and Game and see if they have any more left ,When the new owner took over they did not advertise them but I know Ian had 80,000 of them a couple of months earlier as i bought some.

i think he called them the C&G 28.

I agree, they were for tracer shells. I was given some of these along with the brass trace pellet to look into ways of loading....

...it appears that the Home Office was not 'happy' with a single projectile in the wad.
