I am with Paul on the Fiber Cushion Wad split in half and loading the plastic wad first then adding the fiber wad as a 2nd step.
With 1/2 inch Fiber wads you can adjust the stack height to suit your load. If using a Mec 600 set the wad pressure to compress it some. They have some spring to them, if the stack height is just a bit too high, shot over the wad edge, they will compress some on crimping. Shell is fired they compress even more so no shot touches the barrel.
I have a 10 load that uses 2/3 of a 1/2 inch 16 G fiber. Take all the 1/3 remainders pair them up and load them just like they were a full 2/3 cut.
Over shot for spreaders I use a Polywad 12 G spreader disk, yellow one with the post. It loads and spreads very well in the 10 G shell.
