I like big conicals, like Buffalo bullets, Hornady great planes, or no excuses. 80-100 gr powder (whichever is most accurate) and you have a load that will take down anything from deer to elk.

I would not use Hoppes or Remington 40x cleaner. Those are for oil based cleaning and pyrodex/777/black powder cleans up nicely with hot soapy water followed by boiling water then a lightly soacked patch of Montana extreme bore conditioner.

If you don't like the hot soapy water routine, can use Butch's bore shine or montana extreme cowboy solvent, and T/C makes a cleaner (can even get cleaner soaked patches). There are a number of other black powder type cleaners available that are not oil based. Only time I use Hoppes is with BH 209, which is more like a smokeless powder cleanup.
