Bryan i would put about 40gr of 3f tight packed with a cardboard insert to keep packed and seal it with a lube. Should be ok so long as you aren?t pointing it at anyone and give a nice Pop when you fire it. If it was reenacting i am pretty sure you couldn?t use it due to the cardboard and lube in the end basically being a projectile.
Hope this helps,

Any suggestions would be appreciated, and thanks in advance
