I want to shoot 1 oz of #8 shot out of my old muzzle loader shotgun, what is a safe black powder starting load? What would be a safe max load?
I agree with hawg. Seventy grains of 2fg and an equal volume of shot. Can you measure the wall thickness of the barrel? My guess is if it is .150" or greater you should be all right.I wouldn't go over 70 grains to be on the safe side.
