txrookie,

That's my name for a standard wad used in shotshell reloading, you can get 500 of them for 7 bucks and they work quite well. I use a thin 1/4" -3/8"over powder wad, then the AA plastic with very thin overshot wad, that glob of lube you put in the compression joint of the AA wad really helps with BP fouling and plastic fouling as well. You also might look into using coin wrappers for speed loaders. They can be used a number of different ways depending on your loads, for hunting I just keep a few pennywrapperswith powder twisted into one end and shot in the other, dump the powder, stuff the wads down and then the rest of the coin wrapper/shot..pretty fast once you get a system down. For buck shot loads I keep the shot in a dime wrapper and after the powder and wads are in I just stuff the whole wrapper in. Just something for you to play with in the off season...
