I'm writing a novel, it's set in 1848, and a character loads a flintlock shotgun with shot for ducks.
In that time frame would the loading sequence be powder-wad-shot-wad-priming, or would it have been powder-shot-wad-priming (no wad between powder and shot)?
Or am I missing something entirely?
I've loaded and fired muzzleloading percussion rifles, but never a flinter or blackpowder shotgun.
I don't want to make a technical error in the description if I can help it.
