Default .54 Cal. powder pellets

I buddy gave me powder pellets from a .54 cal muzzleloader and was wondering if i could use them in my .50 cal. or if it would hurt anythin because they go done the barrel without a problem. thanks Jake

are you saying these .54 caliber powerbelts go down the barrel of a .50 caliber rifle or am I not understanding something?

Yes the .54 cal. power pellets are going down the barrel or the .50 cal just fine so i was wondering if i could use them because its just powder i dont think it will hurt will it? as long as the fit down the barrel? Sorry for the confusion.

Yes they do work fine if your gun likes the load. I use them for 120 gr pellet loads[2 x 60]they are cheaper than buying 4 x 30 gr pellets there are several other people on here that also use them that way. I think they work better in my 50's than they do in my 54 inline. Lee

then I see no reason why they would not work. I never knew they would fit.. learned something new today. thanks
