I'm curious as to what everyone's go to load(shot) is? Mine is 60grs of Hodgdon Triple Seven, 1/2" thick 9/16" dia. fiber wad, 1oz of #7½ shot, and a 9/16" over shot card. 60grs seems a little low to me but when I patterned it, all the way up to 90grs, 60grs had the most pellets in the bull.
Try mixing 100 gr of cornmeal with your shot. 1/2 in fist then half shot then half cornmeal again then remainder of shot. Tap butt of gun ground twice, load overshot card and shoot. Works fine for me at 80gr of Pyrodex.
 
Well, I managed to get my hands on the Fadala article. You folks may disagree, but I was disappointed - it seems like a "fluff" piece to me. Five pages long, but very little useful information. I'm attaching a scan of it here - please let me know what you think. Also, let me know if you have trouble opening it - I'm not too checked out with this tech stuff 🙄
Thanks for that article, Tom! It opened up just fine. Good work!
