Best thing is to just start with some decent but not overpowering loads and find one that gives you the best results.

tx_basser, what's your opinion on the switch from BP to Pyrodex? I've been looking to start hunting again with my Great Plains, but I'm in short supply of BP and have wondered about using Pyrodex as an alternative. I know the biggest challenge will be getting back out to the range to reconfigure all my load parameters, and to see where she shoots again. I have everything from my past setups with BP written down, but it was all based off FFF.
Edit: There's nothing quite like the smell of black powder early in the morning!
