to be safe, shoot 75 grains or less of 2f black powder and one ounce of lead shot, over fiber cushion wad...
when test firing, spread a bed sheet on the ground, in front of muzzles...if a lot of unburned powder is found on the sheet, reduce charge by five grains, until just a little amount of unburned powder is found on the sheet...that is your optimum load for this gun...
when pin hole leak appears in barrel wall, time to stop shooting and hang gun on wall...
