So accrording to Midway they say these shell were designed for cork or fiber wads and black powder so does that mean that smokeless and modern plastic wads should be avoided or can they be used? ?

I use them with smokeless, I prefer them to .444 brass. They fit my chamber better.

The Magtec's run .430-ish + inside diameter, most plastic .410 wad bases run .398 -.402, so unless you are using a course powder you will get migration with the plastic wad. If you want to use plastic it's best to put a tight fitting card wad over the powder first.

good luck
