Something that hamilton will not throw away.

It is used as a leitmotif in the popular show 'Hamilton'. It is used throughout the show to signify Hamilton's inability to not do something. This philosophy leads him to write the 'Reynolds Pamphlet'. This was a career destroying document. It exposed his affairs with one 'Maria Reynolds'. Hamilton eventually 'throws away his shot' In the second last number of the show ('The world was wide enough'). This cost him his life.
I am just like my country, I am young, scrappy, and hungry and I am not throwing away my shot

shot my wad

It actually comes from the old days of musket guns, where a wad (strips of cloth) was packed down in the barrel to create a seal between the gunpowder and the bullet, increasing the internal pressure when the gunpowder fired, and thus speeding the bullet.

A musket is a muzzle-loaded, smoothbore firearm, fired from the shoulder. Muskets were designed for use by infantry.
A soldier armed with a musket had the designation "musketman" or "musketeer".
"I ran out of ammo, General Washington, so I shot my wad."

(When soldiers ran out of bullets, they would resort to "shooting their wad".)
