Black Powder muzzel loader pistol

[Macthediver]

I know this probably belongs on a different board. But you guys helped me so much with my ball gun I figure you have some some ideas on this question.
A freind was given a black powder front loader by his brother. It is a 50 cal single gun marked.Kahnke Gun Works
Redwood Falls, MN
model 82  50 Cal.
He want's to shoot this gun but is not sure what size powder charge or type ball to use. I haven't tried googling the gun yet figuring you guys here probably know. Get me started quicker than digging threw tons of BS I would google.

You want a good muzzleloading handgun designed for hunting? Look at the Kahnke M82 handgun. I own one with three barrels. It is inherently accurate and well balanced. I have a story on my blog about this particular handgun if you want to read about it. I love the gun but I do wish that my home state( the People's Republic of Massachusetts) would allow it for deer hunting. Unfortunately I have to use it out of state for deer. Ironically, I can shoot small game, varmints and upland birds with it but not deer. Did I tell you that Massachusetts is a bundle of contradiction?
