I have a box of those, work great and pattern well in my ML. Considering they are the same calibre as a .32 round, when you can load 15 or so in each shot, you get a whack of killing power. I was designing my load for raccoons and skunks in the barnyard.

Do you shoot from a .32 black powder gun... or a .50 loaded in barrel? Sorry if I am confused. I have a .50 cal BP, but only use the slugs.

I have 2 barrels for my ML the .50 and a 12 ga....I liked shooting Black Powder so much I had to buy the 12 ga barrel so I could hunt Turkey with it..great fun !!

So I bought a bunch of 12 ga reloading stuff ( plus bags of #5, #6 , #7 shot) and use the wads and shot cups etc with Black Powder.

Also bought a bunch of '0', '00' and '000' shot for small game....can't see why not have more opportunities with the ML !!

So when you loading shot gun load for BP how do you keep the "shot" from falling out. From the sounds of it I can't use my BP .50 for shot shells. Think I will YouTube it to see what others do..intriguing.

By using a cardboard "top wad ".

I forgot to tell you today I had spoke to my buddy (Gunsmith) and he says thinks they coat the shot so that it leaves less fouling (lead) in the barrel..best guess??

I'm always looking for suitable buck to make squib loads for handgun and rifle fun. If it's oversize I can swage it down in the resizing dies but 5lb would last me forever... A 30 cal lead ball at 5-600 fps is deadly on snowshoes or grouse, plus it's nice and quiet on the deer or moose watch.
