Typically 50 to 75 grains of ffG powder.
Larger grain black powder, such a fG or ffG. Black powder substitutes, such as Pyrodex are not intended for use in propelling fireworks. Pyrodex R could be tried- rmember it is measured not by weight, but by volume.

Try 50 to 75 grains of ffg. Use the load that makes the least barrel fouling. I use 50 grains in my Thompson Center .45. 50 grains in my Cabala .50 carbine.
Contact Connecticut Valley Arms through their website, and ask for an owner's manual (they are free) A typical load for round ball would be 65-75 grains of ffg or equivalent amount of black powder substitute.

FFFG
Contact the maker of your rifle for their instructions. It will depend on bullet weight. Assuming you mean a .50 cal MUZZLELOADER- and not a .50 Barrett- between 75 and 90 grains of ffG black powder is an average load for a patched ball.
The best use of soapstock is to make varieties of soap out of it. Soap is used all over the world so it should be exportable. You can turn soap stock into powder by letting dry out and then itÊcan be ground into powder form.
