Like Chuck said Ted that is normal for a fired wad. I've been shooting that load for years and still have all my fingers.

Thanks very much for the replies. I figured these were fine but it's always good to have a second opinion. I feel better about going on to load a bunch of them up in #8 and #9 shot. Thanks again!

Nit picking? Those do not look like CB 1075 wads--they are bright charttruse/green.
Those look like CB1078 wads, they are opaque/white. I use either one for 3/4 oz loads myself. Wads look normal to me.

Good eye Harold. Yes they should be lime green if they are the 1075-20. Either way it works but the 1075 is the wad for 3/4oz.

I ve never had a wad to stick in my gun barrel that I knowed of but I had a coupla of the basewads to stick in my 8 ga guns...also was shooting Ithaca mag ten the gun fired okwas only shooting one shell at a time..well I went to put the other shell in and it would not go in the barrel..i looked in the barrel and there was the plastic hull but know brass on it....the plastic had come loose from the brass some way....so I guess if we all shoot long enough these strange things happen to some of us....charlie

I have used that load before also Ted, and liked it, still have half a dozen boxes loaded up. Now I am using 20/28 powder instead. The 3/4 oz loads are sweet and I shoot them at clays and game(mostly grouse)

Thanks again for the replies! Those are indeed CB 1075 wads and no worries about nit-picking...it's a fair question. If you look closely to the wad on the left, you can see the raised shot cup base that the 1075 wad has but the 1078 does not. The photo does not show it well but it is greenish in color. I know that in the bag they all look bright green but if you take one out, it is paler. The photo below with the four wads shows the 1078 wads on the left and 1075 wads on the right. The other photo is a zoom-in where I hope it is easier to see the raised shot cup base. I agree that the shot cup petals are not greenish but it is what it is.
