Ballistic Products Shotshell Wads 410 Bore Stump-36 1/2 to 11/16 oz 250PK

The Stump .410 is a shortened brush wad designed to enhance short range .410 patterns. Many shooters prefer loads for the small bores that do not pattern too tightly. Stump is perfect for this application as well as great loads for the “Judge” and other .410 handguns. Since the range of a .410 is short at best, a load with a quick-developing and fringe-dense pattern is often just what is needed. The Stump .410 has a tiny cup that captures only a small amount of shot. This captured shot becomes the core center density while the remainder is the expanding ring of the pattern. In other words, this wad is a skeet shooter’s dream.

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.
