Hi Guys ...
Just picked up an Ardesa 50 cal muzzleloader. What would be some good starting loads for this thing? I have goex, pyrodex and triple 7 available to use. I have shot inline smoke poles before but this is my first time with a traditional.
Thanks in advance
 
If you are using a round ball, I would start at 50g of 2f and work my way up to 90. I would also use a felt wad under the ball with the heavier charges, to help protect the patch from blow out. My 50 cal Deerstalker likes 80g of 2f and a .495 ball with a 15th pillow ticking patch.
