This question has come up before using 45cal pellets in a 50cal muzzy.. Will it fire ? Yes . But it might not be a consistent load. The fire hole thats down the middle of the pellets will not be lined up perfectly with the fire hole on the breech plug. Depending on how far off it is from being lined ud , you will get different pressures pushing the projectile. The accuracy will be affected. How much ? I dont know.. Not to mention 50cal pellets are 50gr and the 54 is 60gr . You might be better off finding loose pyrodex. powder

Bass Pro and Cabelas has the Pyrodex RS powder in stock in La Vista near you . They have limited stock so get your butt down there LOL
