I have two of em, a 26" and 24" barrel in 50's. They will shoot just about anything you want to put down them very accurately.

You will need to know that the Rem 50 has somewhat of a tight bore so you will need to use a thinner sabot. I basically shoot .451/.452 (45 cal) bullets from mine, while yooper uses a lot of 44,s in his 50. You will need sabots like a MMP-HPH-24, TC Mag Express, or Harvester (regular).

If you want a screamer for a bullet, the TC Shockewave (200 grain) with a 110 grains of T7-2f is a real performer, but as much as I shoot they are to expensive - so I shoot their little brothers, Hornady 10mm 200 grain XTP's in a Blue MMP-50/40 HPH sabot, you'll get somewhere around 2100/2200 fps and a ton of energy.

My hunting load has been a 260 grain Nosler Partition, but again because of expense I am moving to another very good bullet but a lot less money, a Speer 300 grain Bonded Gold Dot -> 100 grains of T7-2f in a MMP-HPH-24 sabot...

Like to tell you more but do not want to bore you and I gotta get out here to a trap shoot....
