"Ballistic Products’ .410, .125-inch thick Nitro Cards, split in half, make great, inexpensive wads for the .41 Magnum."

"Using a thin wad to separate the powder and shot and another wad on top of the shot, only 92 grains of No. 9 shot fit in a .357 Magnum case, 110 grains in a .41 Magnum case and 122 grains in a .44 Magnum case.

Copper gas checks intended for cast bullets make good wads, because they are thin, take up little space and tightly seal the bore."
