    Loading a 1858 with 1-2F powder?

    Hey my friends. i want to hear pros and cons of loading a cal .44 remington 1858 with 1F or 2F powder! Got some powder here that's about 1-2F. I know i should shoot 3F in it. I guess it might burn slower and leave more fouling? By how much would the velocity drop? Thank you.
