I have a Hawken .54 flint and a .54 caplock Renegade. I like the .54 and shoot ball, conicals and Minies out of them. For ball, I use a .530. You indicated you have various patches, so go to the bench and work out the best load for your rifle. My accuracy load with ball is 80 grains of 2F Goex in the caplock and 75 grains of 3F in the flinter. Good shooting!
