3.5 grains of Hodgdon Titewad. I cut my over powder wads from a milk jug with a hole punch just slightly larger than the case and press firmly down on the powder. I fill the case almost to the rim with #9 shot and seal with a disk of styrofoam cut from a take-out container. I seal that with a dab of clear silicone.

If you look back at the first picture you can see a tear at the top of the cardboard where the plastic over powder wad hit.

You're welcome. It's a useful tool for close range pesting. I killed my first rattlesnake with it last week. I generally leave snakes alone, but this one was inside the fence where we let out 2 little spoiled dogs run.
