Badger....

Try this document:- http://stevespages.com/pdf/thompsoncent ... lement.pdf

It has details for several different calibres and mentions ball size and powders and charges.

Lead from the butts is far too hard for muzzle loaders.
See below, which is what I was thinking of.

That's what I had on my mind.
