2.75 12 gauge Black powder Load

[Eric Johanen]

No burn through using plastic hulls...(paper is better if you can obtain them). No plastic wads, card and fiber fillers only. One shot and toss as the black powder will pretty well fry them. 4 to 4.5 drams of black makes a great 10 gauge load with 1.25 oz of shot. 3.75 drams is very comfortable with 1&1/8 oz shot. I usually use 110 grains of 1 fg with 1&1/4 oz shot and it generates a huge amount of smoke and there is a bit of a concussion from the blast. People who have never been in the area of a heavy black powder load are generally surprised and ask "What the hell are you shooting? Good fun and you will simply smash the clays!
