Federal paper hull, any primer will do for BP, 2 3/4 drams of 2F with your BP measure, nitro card, 1/2" lubed fiber wad, 1 1/8 oz of shot, overshot card.

I load 76 grains and 82 grains with 1 once of shot for clays or hunting, just vary the shot size. 2.5 and 2.75 hulls with either a roll crimp on new paper Chedite hulls and a 6 point crimp with once fired federal paper hulls. Wad column changes with hull length. 2 fg Goex Old Eysinford powder. Can easily shoot 50 plus rounds as the fouling is light and soft, Clean up at the end of the day is quick and easy. Velocity is very good with this powder and it has become my go to for black powder 12 and 16 ga. I use 1.5 fg OE in the 10 with Cheddite plastic hulls and card and fiber wads. 110 grains with either 1&1/8 or 1&1/4 excellent results. excellent performance and great fun on the course or in the field.
