When I shot Magtecks and BP I used the cheapest I could find - believe Grafs is the cheapest, next is GOEX. A 3 dram [ 82grs by volume ] load of 2F can be reduced to 70grs if using 3F. I liked 70grs of 3F and 1oz of shot in the 12 or short 10. 1 1/8oz would work also with that powder charge. I used a Mec 600 Jr to reload em. That way a 10ga OP wad and 11ga cushion wad could be used for plastic shells, 10ga OP, OS, and cushion for brass shells. I got a good tight seal with them. A 46 bushing gives around 70grs, one cut in half about 80, and no bushing 105. I plugged the inspection hole with a dowel. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to clean a double. Use two buckets of hot water, one soapy. A rod with a cleaning jag and patch to pull and push the water up and down, a couple of patches to dry the barrels, one with WD-40 and another with Rem-oil and you're done.
