I would think those wads would really help the pattern and extend the range in muzzleloaders, which usually have a a cylinder choke. I have a few percussion sxs guns and some flintlock fowlers I should us more often.

I have only seen them listed in England. I know that there is a trend to move away from plastic wads. I need to order some(if I can) and give them a try.
I think we can order wads and such from over there just no primers of course .
I would like to pickup a 8 gauge but I think its best to wait . I seen on a wildfowling forum alot of them said what I was thinking . With the new laws going into effect the 8 bores are going to be too expensive for reloading or too much of a hassle to carry afield so the market might bottom out on them . I think as they get older they figure why carry a 8 when they can carry a 20 ga loaded with tss .


Their resizing die looks interesting im pretty sure Ive seen this on the forum before .
