Sounds a lot like Fast Draw.....look me up....I won the 13 western states championship for 3 years in a row.  But, if there was no paper wad, how did you seal the loads.  I used to load my own shells and we used 1F, 2F and mag powder but then a little cardboard disc went on top and we sealed them with nail polish.  That is what I remember off the top of my head, it was 40 years ago..................mb
