Baschieri & Pellagri is one of the world's most important producers of wads. It began producing plastic wads over 30 years ago, complementing its production of gunpowder, cartridge cases and cartridges to offer a full range of components for smoothbore cartridges. The functional importance of the wad is often overlooked, forgetting that it is precisely this component that receives the energy released upon combustion of the powder and transmits it to the shot. Highly sophisticated molding techniques and systems are used to satisfy all loading requirements for both lead and steel shot, guaranteeing superior performance under all conditions in caliber 12, 16 and 20. First-class materials with appropriate strength are used for every product.
