Powder Charges for various bullets

[Shenandoah]

All,

Where do I find powder charges for various types of lead bullets? I've got a Knight Wolverine, .45 caliber. I know the powder charge for roundball, and the Hornady Great Plains bullets I've shot came with a loading sheet. I've got some Buffalo Ball-etts (200 grain for .45 caliber), but am not sure how much powder to put behind them. I'm also going to try shooting some R.E.A.L.s, Minie Balls, and Maxi Balls, but again, not sure what would be an appropriate amount of powder. Thanks.

Shenandoah

There is some useful information for loading various projectiles if you are shooting with Pyrodex or 777 powder on this page. If you are not shooting these powders, you might still be able to benefit by comparing the volumetric equivalents of black powder and similiar bullet weights:
