I did a search on this site and found quite a few different answers to the same question - how does one load a shotshell without using a plastic wad? Seems like somewhere between the advent of smokeless powder and the invention of plastic (50 years or so?), there were either no shotgunners (doubtful) or different loads (probably). The answers I have seen here range from "You can't do that - MUST follow the recipe exact, even the type of plastic wad!" to "They used to use horsehair for a wad". What's the real scoop? Does or has anyone here used smokeless powder and stacked fiber wads or something to build a shell?
