My question is, what constitutes "proper wadding"?

It would be any of the wads that are specifically designed to be used with the new types of shot (steel, tungsten...etc.). Any of the major reloading supply dealers will list a variety of wads they recommend for use with the new non toxic shots. They are generally made of a stronger plastic with thicker petals, to lessen the chances of the shot making contact with the barrel. Other things can be done to help prevent the shot from working between the petals of the wad and making contact with the barrel, such as placing a Mylar or Teflon wrap inside the wad before the shot is loaded.
