Some years ago there was an article in the "Double Gun Journal" (Spring 2002) by a fellow who had taken a ML .58 double rifle (a Kodiak) to Africa. He hunted and took Zebra, Kudu, Impala. His load was 5 drams of FFg BP (140 grains) and a 550 grain conical.
His experience developing loads was that as the powder charge/velocity in his gun increased accuracy improved.
