Default Missing targets with black powder

Shooting clays with 2f black powder, ive loaded 1,11/8,11/4 square loads. Over the powder card followed by the felt wads. I pack,tamp each one separate.Paper with rollcrimp and brass with glued in over shot card. Shoot out of 2 different guns both vintage with tight chokes, 40 thous. I break very few targets , even on the skeet field I miss station 1,7 more then I break and the ones I do break are very light breaks. I pop in a smokess shell and break targets just fine. I shot a few at a board and they seem like a very open patterns but no holes blown threw, compared to the smokeless loads that are very tight. I’m thinking about using a shot cup? I’m not sure what I’m missing here?
