The book was helpful to me. I will also say, much like Krags, they're all a bit different and each may prefer a different load. There are guys who shoot smokeless loads with good accuracy but I have had my best results shooting FFg black powder. I actually started replicating original loads per the book and then modified it slightly with less powder and a wad to get to my current load. I also played around with compression and crimps which seem to have a significant impact on these rifles. I use a compression and flaring die from "Track the Wolf" as well which are handy tools.
