I use the traditional circle fly wads all the time as well. Though I was excited at the chance to try this fiber shot cup as I think it would have batter patterns in brass shells and muzzleloaders. I can't bring my self to use a plastic wad in a muzzleloader, even though I know people do it. This fiber shot cup seems to be a good way to improve performance, but still be somewhat traditional.

It has the side bonus of being biodegradable which is a big deal and Europe and perhaps becoming the trend here. I like that too if they work well.

I was able to buy empty brass pinfire shells from France recently. They came with traditional fiber wads too. I just sent the retailer an email asking if there was a way to send these shot cups to the US. Maybe instead of sending direct to me they could send them to a distributor. I'll let you know what I find out.
