Thickness of shot cup petals

[FLHTC]

I have a few dozen yellow plastic wads with petals measuring .022 thick and they work wonders in slug loads. The downside is that I don't know who they're made by and whether they're discontinued or not. Does anyone know the thickness of Claybuster shot cup petals? I know Winchester and Remington are .017 and I want something to give me a good bite on the rifling and equal to what I'm using.

Can you post a picture of them? Also what ga?

They are 12 gauge. I used a magnifying glass to read the bottom of the gas seal and it reads WW 17 1 1/4. These things are probably 25 years old. I just bought a bag of Claybuster CB1114-12 and hope they shoot as good. These petals are a bit thinner than the old Winchester but we'll see.

I checked 2 different CB wads and the petals on both measured .026".

Thank you Mac. I loaded a few in the Claybuster wads and i'll test the accuracy on Thursday. I think the ones i bought might just work
