I use a 454 round ball with 35 grains of FFF goex and a lubed wad under the ball ,and get real good results on tennessee whitetail deer out to 30 yards using my pietta remington. I've used 40 grains before, but feel like I have to compress the powder too much to get the ball deep enough in the chamber mouth.
