V.M. Starr was a well know shooter back in the day when muzzleloaders were still used along with the new fangle cartridge guns. In events where the guy with the most hits an a playing card at I think 60 paces he would usually win with his old fashion muzzleloader. He jug choked his gun [ another story ] and only used the 1/8 or 1/4" hard over powder card - no cushion wad that was normally used. He claimed the cushion wad did nothing but take up space for shells. I kind a like a cushion wad, but who am I to say. You'll be just fine unless you don't like the recoil or patterns.

I test fired, patterned, and chronographed the 2 1/2" version of the load in a modern gun. Very mild 1100 fps 7/8 oz load (16 gauge). Estimated PSI 7800.

Ron what is the load you are using? I have 2 16 ga. guns that I hunt with and am always in search of 7\8 loads.
