Get in touch with Balistic products and ask them they sell em or make your own out of paper .
Have you tried making paper shot cups to see if they would get the result your looking to achieve? There's a pretty good sticky at the top of this section on how to make them. Also the Skychiefs load thread is worth a look. Unorthodox but works for some really well.
I've gone paper shot cups but to save time I was thinking about the plastic wads. Its probably cheaper and less headache to use a dowel to shape some paper shot cups honestly
Are they 28 gauge wads? why wouldn't 28 gauge wads fit in a 28 bore? choke ?
Have you measured your bore, or are you going by what’s stamped on the barrel? Is your bore choked? Once you have confirmed the actual bore diameter of your gun, fractional and metric punches are available at little cost from a number of sources that you may want to experiment with. You may also want to contact a supplier like Mikes for their suggestions and input. I’ve talked to them and made a number of purchases from them in the past. Good resource to consider.

Yes they are. I have a SxS with no choke, but I cannot get the full wad into the bore. I haven't tried cutting off the base and squeezing the petal cup in, but it seems that might work.
it is a true .54, no choke
What about if wadding was placed between the charge and the plastic wad? Would that mitigate melting and issues with plastic fowling
Where do you get that thick felt?
The best answer I've gotten, thank you
For what it's worth:
I have had those felt rounds for 20 years. They are actually punch outs from semi-truck gaskets. The same thick felt you can get as replacement soles for fly fishing boots. There are buffing wheels the knife makers use on an angle grinder that are made from thick felt also.
