I recently acquired a Ethan allan SxS 36 cal derringer and was wondering what powder charge to use? i was considering 10grs of FFFg. Also anybody ever load birdshot in these?

10 grains is what I load in my Duckfoot with a .350 ball. I think shot would be a waste of time.

Birdshot, say #8, would be great vs. a snake at say 6 feet...probably need both barrels though.

10 grains in a derringer type pistol is just fine. They were "up close and personal" SD guns.
