What's the calibre and who's the maker?
You must use a ball that is slightly undersize relative to the bore and a patch that is thick enough to seal the bore. Assuming the pistol is about .62 cal I'd start with about 30 to 40 grains if FFFg.

As a general rule for flintlock and percussion you can say for pistols start at half the diameter in grains and for rifles the diameter in grains.
So for a .62 cal pistol start at 31 grains op powder and work your way up from there.
