I have a friend that wants 5-10 rds for his old Damascus barrel double. He asked me to load a few light loads made of black powder and just wants a bang and a cloud of smoke. I have 2F/3F black powder/Pyrodex (several versions)
Can I use plastic wads if I trim them and use card material under them between the BP and plastic wad. I'm looking at a 1/2 to7/8ths load of #71/2 shot.
And how much powder do I use? You can scream at me for taking this on but I still want to do it.
OR
Should I completely stay away from wads and use card material only
He has a 2 3/4" chamber in this gun
I first told him to weld it up and hang it on the wall, but that is not an option.
