Hi Joe, I enjoyed looking at pictures of you sxs flinlock. We need to get a handful of us together for a shoot.

This is from member Skychief on the Muzzleloader forum:

Powder charge
Nitro (hard) card
Shotload
Thin overshot card
Full fiber cushion wad*

*The cushion wad needs to be SATURATED (the wetter and heavier, the better) with oil. I like to use olive oil.

The load seems to shine best when used in cylinder bored guns.
I have not tried it yet, but might play around with it this weekend. It is supposed to exponentially improve the pattern
