That 1F can get dirty - I used it years ago in a 8ga muzzleloader I made but now a days I use 2 or 3F in my 12 or 10ga guns. 75grs of 3F and 1oz of shot is a nice load. At one time I loaded 94grs/3f and 1oz of shot - now that's a nice load to scare the dickens out of guys on the skeet range when they don't except it. Problem is with the cost of BP that extra 20 grains adds up in a hurry. If all I have is 2F I'll go around 85grs/ 1oz of shot, and 75grs/3f with 1oz. The 3F burns quicker than 2F so a little less is needed.
