Hey fellas. I was just given a very large quantity of the pictured wads, and have been trying to ID them with no success. Does anyone know the make/model of these? Thanks!78272

Looks like a steel shot wad of some kind?

Thats what I thought initially, but just cant pin it down.

Incidentally, the wad has only 2 "petals", with each of the 2 slits joined at the top of the shot cup. Never saw one like this before...:confused:

Looks like the old Herters wads from the early 70s.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like it is still a mystery. They all seem to be in excellent condition, but they were packaged in some VERY "vintage" looking empty red dot powder kegs. I would rather not throw them out, but it seems like substituting a wad or primer in a shotgun shell is almost as dangerous as filling a 375 h&h with bullseye ;-)
