It should work well with any powder charge from 45 to 90 grains of powder.
It is often recommended that a starting load should be about 100 times the bore diameter. In your guns case that would be 100 X .54 = 54 grains.
Loaded under a .530 diameter patched roundball that will give it a muzzle velocity of about 1250 FPS and should prove to be quite accurate.
