Harold, brush loads are generally made with a wad that has no shot cup. Basically just a plastic base over the powder.

I shot some of those shells grouse hunting 20 or so years ago, and then thought I should save them. I may have to take one apart to see how it was made. I thought they used fiber wads back then, but I dont know how old those boxes are--may only be from the late 1950's or 60's.

19/6 regular to spreader is my ratio when shooting skeet with tight choked Parkers. Use the spreader on 2nd shot of doubles and station 8. 6 spreaders per round.
Could it be the old loading was intended for SxS guns ? William |

Years back, Western also marketed their 'Thicket Load'.

If they were easy to find not many would be looking so hard for them. It would take the fun out of it.
