use of fibre wads in shotgun?

[TA6319]

do the people who use muzzle loading shotguns use just card wads or card/fibre wads?
Any thought on what is best? Also is it better to buy them or make them.
As you can gather Iam new to this but am willing to learn.
Thanks

Sorry if this has already been asked

I like to use a fibre wad to cushion the impact of ignition on the shot.

Use a fibre wad and over shot card in bp shotgun ,To buy or make all depends on how much you shoot it to buy the proper bp wads try here http://www.wadsincorporated.com/home/
or buy a 12 bore punch from henry krank's

Two over powder card wads one over shot when using same volume of shot to powder. Shoots hard and far. My guns are cylinder bored so no need for a wad to make the seal from chamber dimensions to barrel dimensions as in a cartridge gun.
All wads self cut and are such a snug fit that you can hear the air pushing past them as they are rammed with no creep of the charge in the unfired barrel occurring

Kranks do cutters and wads for all s/gun gauges.
