Ballistic Products Shotshell Wads 20 Gauge Dispersor-X Spreader 7/8 to 1 oz 250PK

The Ballistic Products Dispersor-X is an excellent wad for tight ranges of 5-25 yards. An integrated X-shaped spreader device molded directly into the shotcup provides shooters with even pellet distribution. Its G-type crush section reduces felt recoil in the 20-gauge while allowing a variety of load height adjustments. The pegged dome gas seal effectively distributes fast burn rate powders. Use of an overshot card helps create a bit of compression which will produce an even pattern distribution. Great for tight-flushing birds, near overhead shots and close crossing targets.

Selecting the correct wad is one important element for controlling shot pattern. Wads are also essential for shotshell reloading. They fill extra space in the hull to make sure there is no room for the shot and powder to move around. They also act as a barrier between the powder and shot charges to ensure proper powder ignition, protect the shot from hot gasses and seal gasses behind the shot so that it can be propelled down the barrel. The wad also acts as a dual barrier to protect the barrel from becoming damaged by hard shot and to protect soft shot from becoming deformed by contact with hard barrel steel.
