If you have time to mess around you could use 777 or pyrodex loose powder. Its the same powder that's used in the pellets. I use a 65 gr charge with a 190gr round ball in my flint lock. It hardly kicks but my .50 cal flint lock weighs 10.5 pounds. The loose powder is less convenient but it lets you to custom tailor your charge to get the most accuracy out of your muzzleloader.
