I hear 2nd hand Claybuster has a new 3/4 oz 16 G wad. Don't see it on Claybusters site. Is it true ?

| They make a 3/4 oz wad in 12, 20, and 28. Haven't heard of any plans for a 16 gauge wad. I bought a case of their 7/8 and one ounce wads, but wonder of there is enough of a market for a 3/4 oz, to justify the start up costs. |

| I'd be surprised (pleasantly) if they offered a 3/4 oz wad, but hey, we'd find some good uses for one! Their 12 and 20 gauge 3/4 oz wads are winners. |

| Just got an email from Claybuster telling me there is no truth to the rumor. |

| Adding one .135" thick 28 gauge card wad to the bottom of the shot cup will convert the wad to 3/4 ounce easily enough. |

| The one ounce CB wad is converted to a 7/8 oz wad by adding a plastic bump to the bottom of the shot cup. Adding a filler card to the bottom also blocks out the space around the bump, which may or may not cause issues, with the dead space, but will create a much smaller space for shot. It may be smaller than you want. |

Drop 3/4 oz in the 7/8 oz wad and add a thin overshot card on top of the shot. Works like a charm.
