I assume these blue AA wads are no longer available. What high volume wads for low shot weights are available that are similar to the AA blue wass? |

The Claybuster wad is interchangeable with the Winchester wad- I presume Claybuster purchased the rights to it from Winchester since the only differences are the color and markings. |

The blue Claybuster wad is a clone of the Winchester WAA16. The WAA16 was made for 1 to 1-1/8 oz of shot. You can use it for lighter (7/8 and 3/4 oz) weights by inserting a 28-gauge fiber wad split to the needed thickness in the wad cup. The patent has long run out on the various Winchester and Remington wad designs. |

A Claybuster R16 in 7/8oz fitment would be very nice. |

Speaking of Claybuster WW 16 clones. Are they interchangeable with Remington SP16 for 1 1/8 loads? I don't get powder migration in Federal hulls with em. |

Far as I know you can interchange them with WAA16 wad data but not SP-16 wad data. |

A lot of guys myself included use the DR16 from downrange. It has collapsible legs can load 3/4 to 1 oz. I use it in the Cheddites for 7/8 oz and Remington for 3/4 oz. I still use the SG16 and R16 for 1 oz loads. |

I use the claybusters for 7/8 tov1-1/8. For 7/8 I put a 28 gauge filler in the bottom of the wad cup. I like the DR but not for 1oz. Also the claybuster wads is a lot cheaper than all others and I have no problem with migration with the over powder filler I make.
Also has anyone used the granulated Vectan powder yet. |
