DocHunter,

Welcome to the Forum.

I have a single 12 gauge barrel that fits on my T/C caplock Renegade .54 caliber stock. I have used wads over powder and over shot and also plastic (modern) wads with some success. Your 82 grain 2F Black powder max load is about 3 Drams.

I set my powder measure for 80 grains af 2F BP and use the same measure for #6 shot for PA turkey and grouse. I use 2 felt wads over powder and one over shot. Since you say you have plenty of wads, I suggest you range test various loads to see what your gun likes. I have found I get tighter patterns using plastic wads such as 12 gauge Winchester AA wads over the powder and then an overshot felt wad.

Again, welcome to this site.

Adam
