A wad for shotgun shotshell having front and rear discs having a radius substantially identical to a radius of a barrel bore of an associated shotgun, and a connector arranged between and interconnecting the front and rear discs, the connector including two identical connector elements formed by bending circular plates having a radius substantially identical to the radius of the front and rear discs. Each of the connector elements has a planar central portion, two planar outer portions on the opposite sides of the central portion, and two outwardly inclined portions between the central portion and the respective outer portions, to connect the central portion to the respective outer portions. The central portion, the inclined portions and the outer portions of each connector element have circular peripheral surfaces having a curvature radius identical to the radius of the front and rear discs. The inclined portions of each conector element have a same inclination angle with respect to the plane of the central portion and are located in a symmetrical arrangement with respect to the axis of the wad. The connector elements are interconnected at the outer portions, so that the connector elements are opposed in a symmetrical arrangement with respect to a connecting line of the connector elements, with the central portions spaced from one another. The front and rear discs are integrally connected to the central portions of the connector elements.
