Brother-in-law had a .50 double barrel that he shot a 50 gr. charge out of. The last deer he shot was a neck shot on a doe. Dropped like lightning struck her. I have 3 loads that shoot well through my Lyman Great Plains Hunter, 80grs. of Swiss ffg behind a 325gr. REAL bullet, 70grs. of Swiss ffg with patched round ball and 25grs. of Goex ffg with patched ball for small game. This load is real accurate with no recoil whatsoever.
