After last post I considered my inaction and decided to act as range day Saturday
At midnight I found 4 8 bore cardboard shotshells and removed the shot.
Put in fibre wad, grease cookie, milk carton wad and .824 Round Ball (all in workshop doing nothing!)
Rolled edge in fingers & put lube around ball

Obviously no wife (or ex wife) living in!

Took to range yesterday, better results than expected - 4 inch group at 20 ish yards offhand - probably as good as I can shoot anyway

I put on extra jacket fearing sore shoulder but recoil quite mild (similar to 12g in shirt)

Will now chase 2F & Blue dot for full loads

Thanks Daryl for well deserved boot!!
