Try 80-90g of FFG, or Pyrodex rs. I have the Deerstalker in 50 cal and shoot 80g of Pyrodex and a .495 ball. A friend liked mine so much, he got rid of his .54 Great Plains and picked up a .54 Deerstalker. He also uses a round ball [.535] and 90g of Goex FFG. They are great hunting rifles. Have fun.
