    Blue XL Downrange(and other) Wads for lyman 525 ?

    Its getting harder and harder for me to find real Win AA12 wads and some of my favorite loads for the lyman 525 use that wad.. In fact I cant find any AA12 wads at all now.. The claybuster dosnt fit right (bulges badly when seating slug especially with 20ga card under it).
    Ive heard lately that the Blue XL downrange replacement wad for the AA12 is a good fit, and is not tapered on the inside like the claybuster..
    Have any of you guys tried it??? If you know of some still in production wads that work well for you Id like to head them too. Thanks

    If you have access to straight wall hulls, the Trap Commander wad from BPI is a perfect fit for the lyman 525. Fill the cavity with hot glue and nothing under the slug needed.
