I shoot black in the MagTech brass shells. My favorite bobwhite load is 2-1/2 drams of ffg and 1 oz of 7-1/2s. The vegetable oil lubed fiber wads from circle fly make clean up easy. I use the Duco cement from the local Ace Hardward franchisee to glue in the over-the-shot card.
I have a sixteen VH O frame that I shot almost all of last season with this recipe.
The only drawback is that the smoke cloud obscures the target. I have to rely on my dogs and hunting buddy to mark the downed bird or to let me know I missed.
