Goex Load Data For 50 & 54 Cal. BP Rifle

[riverwalker76]

I have two Hawken rifles that are made by Investarm, and I bought both from Dixie Gun Works. I lost the load data chart a few years back, and haven't used them since.

Does anyone have the Goex FFG load data for the following projectiles?

~50 cal Round Ball
~54 Cal Round Ball
~50 Cal Maxi-Hunter
~54 Cal Maxi-Hunter
~54 Cal. Lee Improved Minie

 

[Hawg]

I used 90 in everything 50 cal. I use 90 for target loads and 120 for hunting loads with PRB in my .54. The minies will probably do best around 65 grains, that's what I use in my .58

There's the following "corporate lawyer" maximum loading data on Page 8 of the Investarms PDF manual:
