another thing you can try is to see how much powder your weapon can efficently use.
take a large white sheet(bedsheet) and hang it about 5 feet in frotn of your firing position. loadup your weapon, and fire it through the sheet. If you get alot of powder residue on the sheet, then that is too much of a load, and your literally throwing unburnt powder downrange.
backoff till you dont get much, you'll always get some, it being a BP weapon as all, but if it is noticable, backoff.
same goes for working out a maxloading, work up till you start getting noticable amounts of residue on the sheet, then backoff a hair, and you know the maximum powder charge your weapon can realistically use.
Sure there's people how dont care, but some of us have a J.O.B (just over broke) and cant aford to be throwing powder downrange willynilly.
