Hello:
Buddy of mine keeps telling me about some spreader wad for shotgun reloading that is supposed to develop a wider shot pattern. He claims its the hot set up for some sporting clays shooting. I keep asking for a sample or a shell I can tear apart but he hasn't come up with one of either . . . yet. Any idea what he is talking about. Make or brand, and explanation on how it functions.
Thanks in advance.

personally, improving ones aim is better than relying on a better wad to spread a pattern. and who needs a wider spread than 30" anyway? heck, go any further and youll have holes in your patterns.
most clays shooters i know like it tighter so they can get closer to it using a mod or full. and let the spread do its thing if they are late on a shot.

Good luck in your search.
I've seen people use these to open up the shotpatterning even wider than with a regular cylinder-choke.
Theory is, if the wad that contains the shot rotates a little bit - it will spread the shot.
I think the germans called the phenomenon Streukreutz and I think it was even designated Half-cylinder choke
