Re: 10 bore blanks
Black powder works best with large calibre shotgun blanks.
A card wad sealed in with glue is normally sufficient but a heavy wad will increase pressure and therefore noise. If the sailing club has a spare round to show you reproducing it should be fairly simple.
These shells are loaded to just over 200 grains or 8 drams. https://www.perfectshotllc.com/product/ ... ith-smoke/
I'd start lower, make up a few prototypes and test them until the desired noise level is reached.
Blanks of any kind have become difficult to find recently, even .303 is approaching £1 a round.
