I've decided to take the original 1842 Harpers Ferry musket out of the safe and shoot it some. I have just cast 100 .678" soft lead round balls. What loads does anyone recommend? I have FFFg Goex and FFFg Swiss powder.

I'm shooting a Lehman conversion to a Springfield 1816. I'm using .675 round balls and 66 gr Swiss 3f. Lube is 50/50 beeswax/olive oil on half the ball. Lube side down.
