What type Wads in Estate Shotshells

[Broadbill]

I shoot the Wallyworld stuff, but I have to do alot of running around to save a few bucks and they don't have birds. My local gun shop is only a few bucks more and I can get clays and shells in the same spot.

The question is do Estate shotshells have full shot-cup wads? I remember the Rem promo dove & quail used to have those cellophane wrappers. I'd prefer better components if available in economy shells.

A few years back Estate Target and Field shells used a full wad made by Fiochi. Since then they were bought by ATK so I'm not sure if they are still made the same.

Estates are good shells, at least if you don't want to reload. (Get Remington Sport Loads, Gun Club or Game Loads if you do: they're all good for a lot of reloads per hull, and they're cheap if you look around.)

If you really want to know what's in it, razorblade one.

Look at the shot, too. It can be quite variable in some brands.
