2F seems a bit coarse to me, but its your decision. Rule of thumb with BP shotguns was depth of powder (4F) equal to diam of bore (at breech), if you did not otherwise know what the correct charge was. I would, for safety sake start with an obviously low charge and work up---that is if you really are sure about firing it.
Hospital charges are rather high these days!!
