Winchester Red wads WAA12R

[richbug]

Is there any demand for these? I see Winchester dropped them. I have a friend who had 10-20 cases of them(size of a pickup truck).

I use a few, maybe a bag every 3-4 years.

It was winchesters own low cost wad to compete with the other aftermarket AA type wads. If you are wanting to sell them let me know as myself and another trap shooter can use these.

I always thought that they were just a shorter wad for heavy field loads. I had been using them in 1.5ounce 2 3/4 " field loads. What loads are you using?

[smkummer]

Oops, I was going from old memory. The WT12 wad was the economical wad for the WAA12. Your right, it is a magnum or heavy field load wad. Sorry, don't need any of those. I have in the past, used a 20 gauge fiber wad to take up space and shoot field wads for informal clay shooting. Steel shot has made those wads a very slow mover.

@Richbug;

Since I load a lot of buckshot loads, I use the "12Rs" regularly!

.....If your friend is looking to move some of his inventory; ....I'd be interested in some!

I'd be in for some, a bag or two.

[Storydude]

As would I. 2 bags.

[richbug]

The problem I see with selling them is shipping would likely be as much as the wads cost, at least in small amounts. I'll talk to him when I see him next and see what he wants to do with them.

[jsizemore]

I could use a couple of bags. Let me know.

[eye shot]

Those wads also work with the Lyman 525 slugs.

Couple for me,,,please and thank you!

Rich, the Red WAA12R's are what folks are using that shoot 1 1/8 black powder reloads

[mikenbarb]

I can use a couple for my heavy field loads. I got a bunch of other sizes and brands if you want to trade. The only thing I have to ask is how much is looking to sell them for??
PS- Claybuster still makes a knockoff WAA12R wad but just not the same as an original Winchester one.

[sargenv]

They also work well for paper based Winchester hulls that have a tall basewad.. I still have a large stock of paper based Winchester hulls and these work good with an 1 1/8 of lead with I think 19 gr of Red Dot.

Claybuster makes the Winchester alternate hulls, and for about half the cost.

Hello RichBug, do you still have some Win.AA12R wads left?
If yes then can you please let me know the price and shipping to New Jersey for 2 bags.
Thank you.

Same here!

if your reasonable on the price i would be in for a couple bags of them.

If he doesn't have anymore claybuster makes a clone of this wad. I have not used the clone as my OEM's have not yet dried up, but i have used several claybuster wads in the past couple of years and the quality is outstanding, but in some of the clones i used from them the wads had reinforced petals which makes them worthless for slug loading. I don't know if their waa12r clone has the ribbed petals though. When my waa12f114's dry up i intend to try the claybuster and downrange clone. I have already stopped using waa12's in favor of a non clone replacement from downrange. A little advice... anyone whom favors federal wads needs to stick with the OEM especially if loading slugs.

[shotman]

wow post was 2009 bet they got brittle by now

[SuperBlazingSabots]

Hello Shotman, just for your information, I have some wads from 70's the Rem.RP12 and some others and they are just as flexible as the new ones!
If kept in the house that has heat in winter and A/C in summer should be fine!
