The WWAA12R wad is a 1 1/8 oz wad, but because it is short in the crush section it can be loaded with heavier payloads. The wad sits deeper in the shell and the shot fills the space past the petals. I used quite a few of these wads back in the 70's when Remington's target shell was the All American. This shell took a 209 primer and had a very high base wad. That shell could be loaded many times and was very efficient with powder. I hated to see them discontinued. There are lead loads that use this wad with 1 1/2 ounces of shot. It all depends on the internal volume of the shell and the density of the powder.
