Old V.M Starr who won many a turkey shoot with his muzzleloader against the new cartridge guns said cushion wads were unnecessary. He only used the OP hard card and said cushion wads only use was to take up space in shells. I would think a little cushion would help. My 10ga shells are 2 5/8 because I had a Parker 10 with stepped chambers at 2 5/8. I also have another Parker, Remington and Lefever 10ga guns so to make things easy I just cut all the shells at 2 5/8. They take a little less filler wads. Daniel, shoot some BP shells and really make em wine. Do it on the skeet field on a still day. The next guy will wine about not being able to see the birds. I just tell them - you think you're having trouble, you aught to try shooting it. The low bird station one kind a comes out of the fog at the last second. It's a poke and hope.
