Default 2f vs. 3F for BP rifles

I was wondering wether there is any advantage to shooting 3F powder out of your muzzleloader instead of 2F. Right now I'm shooting 95 gr. of 2F out of my TC Firestorm (flintlock). When I went hunting with my uncle last winter he was shooting 3F out of his flinter. I would think that 3F would burn faster and produce higher presser, equaling more velocity, so I would think that would be a better powder. But then if it was more people would already be shooting 3F. So my question is wether there is any distinct advantage to shooting 3F out of my ML instead of 2F. Thanks in advance.

Thanksfor moving it you guys.
