RE: Traditions Deer Hunter .50 cal thoughts
I looked one up.. it has a 1-48 twist so it will shoot roundball and conicals well. Get some #11 caps. RWS or CCI MAGNUM caps are good. Also get some .490 roundball and patch along with about 80 grains of Pyrodex RS or Goex 2f and I think you will have a real good shooting rifle, more then able to take deer down with a lot of confidence. There is no reason with practice that rifle should not shoot a 4" group at 100 yards.
Good luck with your rifle.
