Plastic wads will melt with black powder and it’s substitutes. Use fiber wads available from Circle Fly Wads. The old standard was a square load. That is an equal volume of powder, wads, and shot. I use MagTech extruded brass and wads one gauge larger. For 12 gauge I use 11 gauge wads. There is 10 gauge extruded brass out there with Parker on them but they are expensive.
