For a point of reference, I use 90 grains of black powder substitute(Pyrodex) in my modern muzzleloader behind a 250grain projectile. .45 cal bullet in a .50 cal sabot. 1/4 oz ~ 109 grains. Very effective combo for filling a freezer with venison. All three deer taken at about 100 yards.

I don't know if it is possible to put 3oz of powder into the barrel and still fit the bullet.
