Iam shooting a Lymans Great Plains--50 cal---CCI Mag#11's--Hornady .490--.015 patch and Am. Pioneer 2F
The powder you are shooting may be the biggest problem. AP was never to robust, and it does not age that well.
I am shooting T7-3f in my Renegades and it works well for me. But other good choices especially in the world of real BP would be Swiss BP, then mabe GOEX 3f. A lot of people shoot the differerent pyros which will generate more velocity than the AP but I am not a fan of the Pyros...
Here is a target shot with just 60 grains of T7-3f - that is what I use for Rondy shoots... feels kinda like a 22 mag going off, but it works well for me at Rondy shoots. If I were hunting with i would bump that up. I did mis-label the patch size it was a .015 with theWonder Wad - the wad helps insulate the patch from the heat generated byT7.
Cayugad will jump on here sooner or later and he shoots a ton of PRB's
