ABSTRACT:
A plastic shot shell wad incorporating an improved cushioning mechanism. A cushioning effect is provided by connecting a wad with a shot cup by means of two levels of parallel walls separated by an intermediate planar member. A lower level of walls is connected to a wad portion and an upper level of walls is connected to the shot cup portion. As a charge in a shotgun shell is ignited, the lower walls will be forced through the intermediate member, which provides a resistance which has a cushioning effect. As the lower walls move forward, they will become interleaved with the upper walls. By properly locating the upper and lower walls, tilting of the wad with respect to the shot cup after firing can be minimized.
