You can't over charge it.
There is no evidence of of over charging a muzzleloader and it failing.
To the contrary, a blocked barrel with even a light charge can fail! If not blocked it won't fail.

With target rifles , these days for me pcp accuracy is the holy grail , I am shooting paper, pigeons and squirrels . But when pistol , 1960s , shooting 22 colt woodsman I could not do better than a 72, yet I could hit the heart on a man size target fast and every time wit the 22 and 357 pistol out to 50yards. I guess accuracy in Alaska is the prime consideration food . Probably few muzzle loaders. last night , mountain men, sky tv, I watched a couple take a mountain bear in snow at a good.300 yards , thinking , the hungry bear had a chance to eat you time you got close enough for a one shot muzzle loader . , you missed .
brown bread , dead !!!! Ha ha
Back in the 1960s. My friend with his home made Kentucky .45 flint lock, Belgium barrel , took the running deer trophy at Bisley uk . It really pissed the sporting rifle members off with protests. Mole said “ I take more care with my loading “
My view is you can put and animal down in the kindest way, that’s all that matters , you are not trying to be an Olympic star. On the other hand I have wanted to put a scope on a flintlock just to see how accurately it could shoot at 100 or so yards
Just rumbling on . This old gunny fart is 81, but act like 42, The police will never let me own or shoot anything more than an airgun , that’s their problem , I can take anything down with my compound or ionx bow
