Most 1858 Replicas have a 30gr max charge limit. For a minimum charge, I would say 20gr is about as low as I would go..............since accuracy starts falling off as you go under 25gr anyway. This is when using True 3fg Black powder or Pyro P. If you use 3fg 777 powder those loads have to be reduced by 10 to 15%. I use 27gr of 3fg 777 as a max load for my 1858 Pietta replica.
You might also want to consider trying .454 balls - They usually give you a little tightt in the cylinders...........improving accuracy.
