Brian, I think Daryl is correct about it being a Gualandi wad. Here is a photo of the SG16 for comparison.

That wad that I pulled out and pictured is marked Gulandi Italy on the inside, and the number 29. The measurements match the ballistics products number CS12S. They list that wad as being for 2-3/4" shells, but if that is what came out of the RST, then that is what I will put back in.

Brian;
I'm pretty sure that that wad can be used in a 2 3/4" hull. Best to call Ballistic products to confirm. They are great to deal with.

Brian, I'm a bit confused . . . the wad you have pictured and labled "RST LITE" has a 3-compartment crush section directly below the shot cup. The Gualandi CS12S doesn't have that 3-compartment crush section. Doesn't your pic look more like the CS12 Competion Special?

The first pic below is the pic you posted, the 2nd pic is a CS12S and the 3rd pic is a CS12 Competition Special.

I reload a 2-1/2" 12 ga. to match the RST Lite shells. I've talked to Morris at RST and he would not divulge the load or manufacturer of the powder. I totally understand his reason and now I feel bad I even asked him. He has liability issues none of us even think about.
I do however use a load of my own concoction. It works very well in Vintage guns and generates between 1150 and 1180 fps . I use 22 grs. Of IMR PB, a 12ga Winchester gray wad for 7/8oz., WW209 primers. All shot sizes work well I like #9 or #8s for skeet targets and #7-1/2 for Sporting Clays.
I also use a Spolar loader which I had set up for 2-1/2” shells.
Hope this helps.

What gauge and what length shells are you using? ALL my shells are the 2.5 inch.
