The WAA16 wad, now available as the CB0100, was originally intended for the Winchester/Western compression formed 16-gauge hull (Super-X, UPLANDER and DOVE & QUAIL) with tapered side walls, not the current straight sided Olin trash hulls.

How is the powder migration issue?

I'm still loading my supply of the compression formed 16-gauge hulls with the load that sports the * in the Ball Powder Loading Guide -- Win 209, 20 grains WSF, WAA16 wad and 1 ounce of shot. When Olin quit making the WAA16 I cleaned out Green Top Sporting Goods entire supply. Just about the time I was running out Clay Buster came to the rescue.

For 7/8 ounce loads I'm using the Down Range DR16 in Federal hulls.
