Claybusters does make one - they just don't advertize it as one. It's the CB-0178-12 wad made for the 7/8oz load. I read about it in a sporting clays magazine. The 0178 wad is .060 higher than the 4100 wad. You'll have to adjust the final crimp station - two of us at my club have been useing it for about a month now. We use the same powder as we would for the 7/8oz load. I use 15grs of 700X. I have an adjustable charge bar, so I'm always messing with charges. I've noticed that any wad has shot above the wad pedals. If an 1/8oz less shot is used it comes to the top. For that reason I always load 7/8oz in a 1oz wad, or 3/4oz in a 7/8oz wad. You will notice tighter patterns with 3/4oz loads. Because of the shorter shot column there's less shot deformation at the bottom which means less fliers. In the article the man used chilled shot and fiber wads to get good patterns at skeet. Otherwise they were too tight. We're getting good breaks on 5-stand at 30 to 40yds with no chokes. Paul
