    The parameters for using paper patched bullets are somewhat different when comparing black powder and smokeless loads.
    Do you plan to patch to bore, or to groove?

    Newbe, I take it you refer to a Stoeger shotgun and that you are looking for shotgun BP loads? This being the BP paper patching forum, your request may cause some confusion .

    Be aware that black powder has some substantially different handling requirements than smokeless powder and that your Lee Load All may not be suited for BP. I don't load BP shotgun so I can't offer more but suggest you will get more productive answers in the appropriate forum. Also, I recall there is a good deal of data available for loading BP in the Magtech brass hulls.
