See what will shoot out of your weapon well. Power Belts and Maxi-hunters I have used both with good results.

Post your question in the black powder forum. Your choices are limited, but the Thor bullet is a good one.

Powerbelts, Thor bullets, hornady FPB will be your best bet.

THE HORNADY FPB DOES WELL IN MOST TC INLINES and it is reasonably priced. Try it with 80 and 90 grains some even like 100 grains Pyrodex and Blackhorn with a reloading 209. I have had the best accuracy with the 350 grain and it is best if you are going after any thing bigger than deer. There are some people that like the 300 grain and even some shooting the Thor which after you go through the finding the right size and paying all the extra will actually do a decent job. Some of us have had problems with the Power Belts some have come apart with out decent penetration and some do not drop the plastic sleeve and become in accurate. How ever some claim good results ro I just have had a bad time with them.
