95 grains loose powder FFFG or 2 pyrodex pellets of 50 grains ea.
.50 caliber and smaller start with as many grains of FFFG as the caliber and work up your load from there, i.e.; .45 cal = 45 grains. With calibers larger than .50 do the same using FFG. Start there and work up until accuracy starts to suffer.
If shooting patched round balls, recover a fired patch from down range. If it has a hole burned through it use a slightly thicker patch.
