I have two other wads that are identical to the green one in height, one pink, and the other WW Grey.
If they fit in the hull and allow for a good crimp then more power to you. Speaking for my experiences, using standard wads in my 2 1/2” hulls did not result in good crimps. The majority of my 2 1/2” loading is with 16g hulls. I do load 12g too and use short wads for them too.
