Default RE: load for 36 cal. flint lock
ORIGINAL: bowmtn

I just received a 36 flintlock made by pedersoli and would like to hunt squirrels with it. Im loading with gearhart-owen fffg and hornady round balls since I don't have a owners manuel where should I start at on grains and what is the max safe charge
FWIW,TC's manual lists the following.36cal - 65grn patched round ball loads:

40grns 3F - mv=1894 me=518 ft/lbs
50grns 3F - mv=2034 me=597 ft/lbs
60grns 3F - mv=2150 me=667 ft/lbs
