.50 caliber hunting loads

[Mr. 16 gauge]

For those of you who hunt with a .50 cal, what powder charge & type (FFg, FFFG, ect) do you use for deer hunting. Assuming patched round ball.
Thanks...........

I shot my last deer with a .50 caliber Lyman Trade Rifle flintlock loaded with 80 grains of FFG and .010" patch and a roundball. All the best...
