Suggestions for my Flintlock

[scp3327]

I have a Lyman Deerstalker and haven’t hunted with it for years. The last time I used it I shot 295 grain sabots. I am going back to round balls. I ordered Hornady .490 round balls with .015 lubed patches. Any suggestions for how much 2f powder to use in the load? I use 4f in the pan. 70g? 80? Suggestions?

A good starting point will be 70 grains of 2F and work up slowly

Thank you. I thought 70 may be a good starting point. We’ll see how it goes!
