Wadding is essentialy a sabot that mearly fits behind the projectiles, and it preforms essentialy the same function, but is easier to construct than an enclosing sabot.
They are often used to keep a delicate projectile from exploding upon firing, and/or to seal up small power-sapping gaps between projectile and barrel. common waddings.
