Hey,
I know there's been a lot of topics about this topic and i've read them all. I really didn't found a lot of info on exact loads which would create good patterns. Of course rifling will ruin it on longer distances, but i'm talkin about max distance of 10 feet. I was experimenting a bit and found that using 15 grains of FFFg powder and a home made lubed wad on top, will give you space to fill it up almost 30 grains of volume of no. 9 leadshots. Then top it of with another wad. Should also keep in place quite nicely, because the wad is in the .47 diameter range.
I was wondering how much effect does the powder charge have on such a short distance? 10 gr would give you more lead shot and 20gr less.. I haven't yet shot these loads, but will get to that eventually.
Edit: I actually noticed that oversized milk carton wad really doesn't stay in place on top of the load. I only have 11mm and 12mm hole punches, propably would need it to be 11,5mm to be fitting nicely to the chamber.
