Black powder using traditional 2 3/4 dram (70g 2F Olde Eynsford) load with components (over powder card, lubed fibre wads, 1oz shot, overshot card, roll crimped) in 2 1/2" brass (Magtech) hulls or same load in roll crimped Federal paper. Federal paper is trimmed to get a good roll crimp. This is my primary hunting load.
Also use low psi 700-X 24gram loads in straight walled hulls such as Fiocchi or Estate using BP REX wads CB4100 WJ wads. I also have a 1oz load with American Select and CB4118 wad. Smokeless loads are all under 6000 psi.
There are also a couple of low psi loads using Clay Dot.
I hope this helps.
I load my own shells.
