the load i'm looking for is for t/c-50.cal ,flintlock -26"barrel,1-48 twist barrel,
cayugad gave you good advice.
stay away from the t/c maxi-balls.
for practice i use patch/ball and around 60 grs of powder 2f in my hawkins 1-48 twist.4f in pan
no use in wasting powder to have fun.
for hunting with round ball , try 70 grs to start and work up,if the groups open up, you gone to far.
now, for hunting i like the 295 powerbelt bullet hollow one.
348 gr is good too.
i use around 80 grs of 2f.
i sight my gun in at 13 yards with open sights dead on,some put it 1 inch high at 13 yards.put the top of sight just at bottom edge of your little round dot you are aiming at on WHITE PAPER.
I USE A BLACK DOT.
this will help you sight in better and this is way you want to hold on deer as sights can cover a deer at 100 yds.
thats about it.
