For a hunting load my Zoli Zouave likes 90grs FFFg pushing the 575213-OS minie. My Musketoon likes the 577611 minie pushed by 90grs FFg. I have not worked up a patched round ball (PRB) load for them yet.

One thing I would suggest is to take an oval piece of aluminum, thin leather or inner tube to make a flash guard to put around the nipple extending to the wood behind it to protect the wood from the flame when you shoot. It keeps the gun looking new. A lot of shooting without it will scorch the wood behind the nipple and you can tell the gun is well used. Protecting that area will preserve the value of the gun. You need a sharp, narrow chisel to cut a diamond or square hole in the flash guard to fit snugly onto the nipple.
