Dave at kelton Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I thought it might be interesting to see what is happening to these wads as the season goes by. The estate I pick up on banned plastic wads years ago and this season saw guns using the new wads. Can’t say how long these have been around but max 7 weeks. Will see what is about by the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8 shot Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Not really a lot of good to a livestock farmer if it takes weeks to degrade completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greylag Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Interesting,I think they are starch based so probably not toxic to livestock,can't be sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 I tried to get some a few weeks ago and none of the local gun shops had any in stock and a couple said that they will only get the if order because of storage worries.

By this time they are jelly and compare with the felt wad in the photo. Only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
