Having recently heard about this new wad from Claybusters and having seen Buck and Slug Reloaders YouTube video, I decided to try them out. I had been using Claybusters CB1114-12 which is a direct replacement of Winchester's WAA12F114 with less than stellar results.
I agree with the YouTube video that the new wad is considerably lighter in weight. When shooting the CB114-12 wad with the Lyman 525 gr slug using various powder/weight combinations, it always tore off 1-2 petals of the wad.
While using the new "supposedly" beefier CB SW-250 wad it tears off 3-4 petals. The new wad also shows no noticeable increase in accuracy.
All in all, I'm very disappointed in this new wad. And at twice the price with a pretty high shipping cost it stings even more.
What are other people's findings ?
