If you've never tried them the old "Buck & Ball" loading works in a lot of circumstances...very historically correct and effective...
your .62 ball with a measure of bird shot or buck shot pellets added...
or take 3 .45 or .50 balls and ½oz of #BB bird shot as a rabbit load...you'll need over powder and over shot wads of course...
I've taken the concept and made up some home defence shotgun rounds of #2 or #4 Buck and #2 & BB bird shot...within 20 yards pattern is very dense, splotchy after 30 yards and beyond that I won't shoot.
Try them out, you'll like them and the experimenting is neat... figuring which is going to give the best pattern and at what range.
