Solbear66, what kind of shotgun are looking to get? I shoot the Knight TK2000. I use a 3" shot cup, 2 oz. of shot, and some special wads that I developed to cushion my shot charge. With most blackpowder guns, you have to take it out on the range, and see what the gun likes. If you need more info, let me know!!
