It all depends on the gun and general range you will be hunting in, I use in most of thecap lock guns 75 - 80 grains of 3F Goex and a 320 grain lead maxi-hunter bullet or a patched round ball. ( good to about 110 yards) With my .50 cal flintlock I use 70 grains Goex 3F and a hand cast 175 grain round ball. (good to about 100 yards) With my T/C Triumph in-line I use 90 - 110 grains of Goex Pinnacle powder and Winchester 209 primers, with a 230 grain jacketed sure fire sabot (good out to about 150 yards.) I have taken deer, hogs and even coyote for years with those loads. That should give a start point but you will have to find "the sweet spot" for your gun, The best balance of range and accuracy.

Contact the maker of your rifle for their instructions. It will depend on bullet weight. Assuming you mean a .50 cal MUZZLELOADER- and not a .50 Barrett- between 75 and 90 grains of ffG black powder is an average load for a patched ball.
