It varies depending on the caliber and manufacturer, it is always best to consult the maker of your particular firearm as to maximum powder charges. If that is not plausible I would have to know the details of the gun (maker, model, caliber, age, condition) before I could give you a safe maximum or recommended load. A safe load would be equal to the caliber, example a .58 caliber should be safe with 55 to 60 grains of 2F powder, a .69 cal = 65 to 70 grains 2F etc.
