If you use plastic wads with black powder you will have a mess in your bores. The high temps made by the black powder will melt the plastic. Always use fibre wads with black powder loads.

Thanks. I'll make sure to load fiber wads when shooting BP.

To date all of my BP shotgun shooting has been in an antique muzzle loader and it is a great shooter. It is an English gun and has all of the attributes of those slim, light English shotguns.
