I picked up some of those babies, I think they came with a gun I bought a while back. I would rather use the plastic wads but the .135 can be used as over shot wads I guess. I wonder who Alcan sold them to?

Charlie the cards were fine but the box was in tough shape, missing a top flap, tattered and a little bit moldy. I thought 8ga reloading components were fairly scarce and somebody might have wanted them to use.

I use as many as I can, but the plastic Remington eight gauge wads make the card and filler wads a bit useless except as over shot wads.
