Some folks swear by the Hodgdon bullet; others swear at it. While I don't have a rifle or rifle musket with the Hoyt barrel, I have always gotten good results with the Lyman .575213 or similar bullet, sized .001 under bore diameter.
Have you started at 40 grains of FFFg and worked you way up, to 55 grains? Are you using Goex or Swiss? Have you tried FFg?
Good luck in your search for a great shooting load.
