Please recommend loads for flintlock pistols.

What loads would you recommend for a pair of 50 caliber flintlock pistols (12" long green mountain barrels)?

Best regards

Are the barrels "Pistol" barrels? I meant to say pistol twist barrels. Like say 1 in 20.

I shoot 20gr. in my .45 with 18" twist.  If it was a .50, with a 20" twist, I'd shoot 20 to 25gr. - probably, whatever shot best is the rule of thumb. I'd shoot 30gr. or more if that's what it wanted.
