Hi Ric,
The W/W factory load components shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as they notoriously use proprietory powders, that are not available to the reloader. Purposely blended to their private specifications, and used in factory ammo.
Wads the same thing. In some cases they do use the same wads that they market to the reloaders, while in other cases they use something else, (usually meaning cheaper, and usually not one piece), although I imagine the 410 wad would be one piece out of necessity. In my mind a multiple piece wad would be hard to contend with in the 410, even at the factory.
I assume these were 2-1/2 inch shells, and not 3 inchers.
