need help with 44 cal muzzleloaded pistol loading

[Eterry]

I've got a .50 cva single shot. Just found my powder. Soon to find .490 balls. Found powder: 777 fffg. Any thoughts beyond that? Thank you!

I looked at the pictures, now I wonder why The Bradford Exchange hasn't come up with a special design

You can use up the pyrodex rifle shotgun powder in it 20 to 25 grains powder. I have a traditions kentucky pistol in 50. I use what is in my horn of ffg in my kentucky rifle and pistol

 

[.50 + 11]

If you can't find the right size balls at the store, try www.trackofthewolf.com.
You can get a few balls of the correct size. If the barrel is marked 44 caliber, you'll need a ball smaller than .435", .433" preferred.

.433 balls and .010 patches (for .40 to .49cal) will work?
