    Anyone have a clue as to where I can find the original Winchester WAA12 white wad? I can not find them to save my A**, claybuster 's replacements will not work, I load the Lyman 525 sabot in the aa12 wad. Thanks HC

    I can't find Winchester WAA12L 7/8 oz grey wads anywhere.
    Due to market fluctuations I am no longer buying range scrap jackets.

    Hatcreek,

    I got some of the Downrange (DRA-12) clones (from BPI) and plan on trying them in a Lyman 525 load. Will report back in a new thread.

    Thanks everyone for your input, everywhere I call they are out of AA12, trying to contact cliff's, busy signal, Johnny let know how they work out, does the slug fit in the wad flush with the bottom, they do not fit at all in the claybuster clone's. HC

    Anyone having issues posting pictures?
