So, I guess the title is half right. My dad and I used to use precussion cap muzzle loaders to deer hunt when I was a kid. I've recently picked one up to expand my deer season a bit. I picked up a Traditions Deerhunter precussion muzzleloader (in .50 cal). I figure it will get me started for now. Don't want to go the in-line route or anything.
Anyways, I noticed that I can't seem to find how many grains of powder to use. I don't remember how much to use specifically (for some reason the number 95 grains comes to mind), and I'm trying to find the charts on how much powder to use.
Anyone able to give me a bit of direction? The powder I'm using is Hodgden Pyrodex.
