Mr. 16 gauge,
I do not own a Trade musket; all my smoothbores are T/C Hawkens. My .50 smooth flinter will shoot patched ball accurately to 75 yards with a charge of 75 grains of 2F Goex. If your Trade gun shoots low, try filing down the front sight to get a point of aim/point of impact more to your liking with your accuracy load. I use a tight patched ball over my powder charge for fine accuracy within smoothbore limits as noted above.
Adam
