Sproul, I shoot the copper Hollowpoint 295 in my 1-48 twist flintlock pushed by 80 grains 777 in 2f, which equals about 92 grains if shooting BP 2f. So you think I should slow it down? I hardly feel a kick at that load as it is. How far out do you shoot with PB?
Your load is fine. With that load, 125 with a flinter in my hands would be pushing the limits. If it were in a sidelock, 150-160 tops with open sights.
