    McCarthy's of Prosperous have loads.
    Although McCarthy's Gamebore Black Gold are 35g I think.

    I’m going to a driven shoot, the cattle eat the plastic wads and they’d build up in the fields the fiber disintegrates,

    It drives me nuts that you must use fiber wads, I shoot biodegradable plastic wads and cannot see what the issue with them would be?
    Net wrap and baler twine are often found in cattle stomachs, nobody shouting about not using them.

    Biodegradable plastic wads decay when exposed to sunlight but it takes a long time and is not safe over grazing land

    I supposed its the perceived risk rather than actual risk. I suppose on a driven shoot there would be rather more on the ground than from rough shooting.
