Yeah I’m stoked! I’ll confirm the price and put in the order on Friday when I’m in town

Well the shop wouldn’t order any wads unless I paid up front for the 5000, they wouldn’t give me any indication of when they would come and they have made mince meat out of two transfers I tried to do so I’m cutting my losses on this one.
I’ve just had a look and rebels in brisvagas sell bags of 250 and have plenty in stock. Question, what are they like for online orders, postage price, turn around etc?
Rebel is good. Postage, don’t remember, but overall recommend. Shipped ammo, rings and few other bits from them.
I’ve ordered stuff from rebel a couple of times. The postage was fast. But wasn’t the cheapest. But they had what I wanted and nobody else did. So I didn’t really care.
The wads would be fairy bulky so I’m guess $20-25 for the postage. Which makes them pretty expensive.
Yeah that’s more for postage than the wads are worth
When the shop won’t tell you ‘when’ it means, usually, but not always, that they are flying blind with the distributor. It could be that they want to bulk it up and waiting for more orders… Ran into exactly the same thing with some brass I was after (found them in the end). Super shady and f*ck them right in the ear if they won’t tell a paying customer when paid goods will be delivered. That’s just appalling in my books.
I agree, won’t be dealing with these guys again if I can avoid it
Have you tried Holt’s? I picked up a bag of 410 wads there a while back cheap enough.
They have no 12ga wads
But they might buy some in for you, if you order enough.
Sunbury firearms has some afaik
I’ll be just down the road from Centreway tomorrow. Do you want me to give them a call?
Na don’t worry mate, I might talk to holts about getting me some, might order the 5000 through them.
Saw Fedral wads at Golden Flash in Maryborough at $16/ Bag.
I’m thinking of doing more research into loading without plastic wads.
I have loaded with cards and wads but the thing i need to work on is centering the slugs in the case and then the bore. roughly speaking my 3 slug designs are all .69 cal and the bore of a shotgun is .72 - .73 cal the difference of which is normally filled up with the petals of the wad.
Going to order some of these

And try a layer or two of UHT carton around the slug to centre them.
Is it just me, or is it really weird that someone doesn’t make a non-plastic, biodegradable wad? There must be millions of wads spat out of shotguns every year.
I think most cases have been UV biodegradable for some years. That’s also one of the advantages of mild steel instead of brass. It’s just an additive to the plastic. TBO I thought wads were biodegradable yonks ago.
