The Best Wads for Buckshot! Part 1 with BubbaRountreeOutdoors and my724outdoors.com!
Which wads work best for buckshot loads? Let’s see! Let’s talk about what works best for the B.R.O. Crew!! The term “wad” refers to a component of a shotgun shell that is used to separate the shot from the powder, contain the shotgun shot, and provide a seal that prevents gas from blowing through the shot rather than propelling the shot out of the shotgun. The shotgun shell has a plastic case and after firing the shotgun, the case remains in the shotgun and is manually discharged by the operator, while the wad leaves the gun along with the shot. State regulations require hunters to retain their spent casings and properly dispose of them, in an effort to prevent littering, but the plastic wads travel significant distances after the gun is fired and cannot easily be recovered.
