Yes seen tracks site many times. Just with duties and exchange/shipping you'd have to buy big order to make it worth while. Its 53$ shipping alone.
Rhey quoted me before about shipping an order.for flints/ card wads for my english gun and some other small items...flat rate under certain weight 53$
For now i have the winchester fiber wads greased...they do slip past muzzles. But on the lookout for more

Try Rustywood? I've ordered lubricated wads from them at reasonable prices and shipping cost.
I have the same shotgun. It has cylinder and modified chokes on the barrels hence the id difference. I use 12ga fiber wads and cards in both barrels with no issues. I use my short stater to get them going. I pre lube my wads with the same lube I use in BPCR.
If your gun is made after 1994 they changed them to not need 13g wads to enter through chokes.
My muzzles measure .710 and .706
Thats 13 g dia.. Under barrels youll find a 2 letter
Marking. Mine was manufactured in 1988. When navy arms and Pietta were part of pedersoli

An option is making your own wads. I bought I set of cheap hole bunches from Princess Auto. A couple I needed to enlarge on my lathe 45-70 and 38-55. The 3/4” punch worked as it was, came out at 0.730. Any time I need wads I just go make them.
You have the solution if you have a lathe, or a friend with a lathe. I have made patch and wad cutters for several calibers and gauges on the lathe. I prefer cutters that spin in the drill press over the punch style. Cutters to run in the drill press can also be made by grinding the teeth off appropriately sized hole saws.
Another option for making a hole punch is an old metal table leg. Tapered at the bottom so you can pick your diameter. I have welded a piece over the top and cut a hole in the side so wads will fall out.
Unfortunately nobody around has a lathe. Its pretty rural, and to find materials locally in thickness id need.nobody around has anything,in my area im the only guy who owns percussion shotguns that shoots them..everyone i know is of the ..." Drop 2 pellets...a bullet and call it loaded variety" ... They call me davy crockett around here.

If you can find a hole saw of the appropriate diameter, you only need a bench or angle grinder to remove the teeth and establish a cutting edge. Chuck it in an electric drill and run it in the opposite direction against the grinder. A little touch up with a file and stones and you are good to go. Even a super cheap stacking hole saw will do the job.
Snider Shooter had an interesting solution with the tapered chair leg suggestion. I would have to call that thinking outside the box.
I cut cushion wads out of old 100% fur/wool felt hats. They can be stacked. Fiber wads are easily cut out of cardboard and milk cartons work well.
Where there is a will, there is a way

The table leg works well. Try finding wads for14 ga 15 ga. This way I make my own. Felt boot liners can also be use as wad material. My card wads I robbed a friend’s recycling bin. She bought a washer and dryer set which had thick cardboard protecting the corners. 1/8 thick so I now have lots of card wads. My black powder cartridge wads come from our ear plug boxes at work so have a steady supply. Lots of material around if you know what to look for.
I laughed about shipping charges. Brownell’s charged $48 for a small box which could have been put in a bubble mailer.

Makes you wonder why pedersoli did that
Mark the gun as a 12 gauge but
The chokes and or muzzles are small...
I have an english hopkins from 1850s
Still shoot it...my CIL fiber wads fit fine
One bore is proofed at 13...one 14...
The underside of the pedersoli is marked
18.2.. Thats std 12 g bore .729
My muzzles are .710 and .706 dia respectively
