Anyone have load data for BH 209 and 50 cal ball/patch? I realize its not the ideal combo but just wanting to try a few out if it's suitable. Thanks
 
Cayuga would probably be the one to know for sure, my guess would be a reduced charge of powder for use with a round ball to get any kind of accuracy especially with a fast (1:28) twist rifling. I think I would start at 50 gr. by volume and gradually increase to see if accuracy gets better or worse.
 
A fast twist rifle, no matter what the powder, start your shooting at 50 grains. The accuracy might surprise you. But, I have never shot BH209 with roundball. I have shot 777, Pyrodex, and lots of black powder.
