Alpo, I am not sure I would add 50 grains of loose powder, this would be technical a duplex load. I am not sure how much pressure it would create. However using it like a primer, like you would a Flintlock has some merit. I would use the same powder as the pellets. APP with APP pellets, 777 RS with the 777 pellets. I quit using APP it caused more corrosion than Black Powder. I swiched to 777 recently for some of my odd caliber rounds .32 etc. .45acp
