10 ga. Plastic Shot Cups

[jdixon]

Can anyone tell me who might sell 10 ga. plastic shot cup wads designed for a muzzleloader?

I am in the process of working through every type of load I can think of to pattern my 10 ga. I have had several tell me that plastic shot cups will really tighten up your patterns and give you more distance. I would like to try a few loads with a shot cup wad but, I can't find one in 10 ga. designed for a muzzleloader (i.e. one that .75 - .77" diameter range).

Midway USA lists 10 gauge wads, both fiber and plastic. They don't specify diameter but are intended for shotshell reloading. Plastic shot cups are no cure-all. I've tried them in several guns and have never found any benefit to my patterns. If you do use them, be sure to still load a hard card overpowder wad to seal the bore and protect the plastic from powder gas. Black powder will melt plastic and leave a residue in the bore that can be a real mess to clean out. Not always and not in all guns, but often and many. You can call Midway at 1-800-243-3220 to request catalogs.
