Ballistic products iirc sells all kinds of plastic wads . I know they arent traditional but i figured id mention them . Stiffer wad = tighter patterns . Some of those steel shot wads are Really Stiff !!! They got all kinds of stuff there for scatterguns . Hope this is of use........
Also bigger shot flies straighter cuz of weight . Same with hard shot or plated cuz rounder . Not so good for pattern density though with bigger shot . Maybe a tungsten shot would help but its pricey . I also dont remember how small its available in tungsten . Again i hope this helps......
About all my experiance has been to develelop a even flat pancake pattern to slap on grouse , pheasants ,quail , etc . Long narrow shot strings ive avoided like the plague !!! Wish i could offer more --- Good Luck !!!!!
