The finer the grain, the faster the burn.Either one will work with a fifty.If you go for large powder loads felt recoil will be more with finer powders.Measure by volume not weight.Start out around 60 or 70 grains of powder and then increase slowly,develop a load that works.When accuracy starts to fall off,cut your load back around 10 grains or so.You don't need to shoot humungous 100+ grain loads. Remember a 45-70 shot a 400 grain bullet pushed by 70 grains of powder. YMMV
