You look at this the same way as myself . I am adamantly against using yuck BP in anything other then an original muzzle loading rifle .
You might give some thought to Trailboss I used that in a circa 1896 Marlin 1895 in 40-82 although velocity was almost below sonic .
Seems to me I used 31.5 grains of SR4759 with a Gould 330 grain HP PB bullet in the 45-70 . But sorry to say I have no data for the 50-95 , only 50-95 I've ever had in hand was an original someone down the street from me wanted to sell .
