you must learn to automatically check load depth with ramrod on hand, and pull load with any type of abnormality. a standard 12 gauge load could be 90 grains 2fg ( three fg if you want velocity, and are quite experianced in very good strong gun, not damascus for instance). i solved an old friend of mines 20 guage sxs extra full choke flintlock problem by telling him to use succesesive thinner nitro cards stacked over the powder so they could get by the tiny tight bore. if getting blow by with one nitrocard use two and criss cross the fold. if full choke you can gently fold the nitro card and slip by the choke, dont cram it edgewise as this is asking for blow by. when shooting muzzelloader with standard type choke usually a nitro card and lubed felt wads will work best. if your shooting a choked gun that is a breach loader you also can use nitro card with fiber wad, but spacers of cork and lubed wool felt can be a big help for keeping bore clean as they are not wiped when loading, and to fill upp the load. most guys pattern for a couple shots and think thats all they need to do. ive beaten some pretty good shots becouse thier gun stops patterning after 10 rounds. ive never used plastic wads becouse they fail with succesive shots when things get dirty, and especially when they get hot and dirty. when you go to constrictive chokes things start to change. with jug choke also use nitro card and fiber wad over the powder. without choke use nitro card and fiber wads. Wads for differnt guns, and different types of chokes can be tricky, but for the guns ive shot ive found this has been generally true.
