My fovorite rifle is a October Country, Great American Sporting rifle in 69 caliber, shoot a .678 round ball, .015 patch and 180 grains of 2F black powder.
Now, I might admit, that load might hurt a tad.

LivBucks, actually the recoil isn't that bad, the rifle weighs 10 pounds unloaded, going to try some Fg and go up to 210 grain when I get back from England.

Yea I guess the weight of the rifle factors in. Let us know how the 210 gr. charge works out
