I have a steel frame '58 Pietta' and the owner's states:
The starting load for a .454 round ball (44 Caliber) using FFFg is 12-15 grains.
The maximum load using FFFg is 35 grains and the max load using Pyrodex is 28 grains.
I personally think the starting load for FFFg is way too low, but that's what the manual says!
