You may already know, but use only paper wads when loading BP because the plastic wads will melt in your barrel leaving a mess. A nice light load is 1oz of shot with 70grs of 3F. Back when I liked to feel the " push " of a BP load [ and liked to scare my friends who had no idea that I was shooting BP ] I'd load 94grs of 2F and 1 1/8oz of shot. Because of the cost of BP, I quit doing it. There's 7000grs in a pound, and at 70grs per shot you get 100 loads per pound. Because 3F burns faster than 2F, you can use less and get the same results.
