I am looking at getting a new muzzleloader and I was wondering what is the best choice of projectiles to shoot out of a barrel with a 1 in48" twist? I never plan on shooting much farther than 75-100yrds at most.

A 1-48 twist is a kind of an inbetween twist so it will shoot RB, the big lead bullets and some do a fair job with sabot and short bullet.
You did not say what cal. and that can make a differance. Witha 54 its hard to beat RB with a 50 I would be inclined to a sabot with a 44 cal. 180 gr or a 45 cal. 200gr [they are what shoots in my 1-48] with a 45 I would go for a maxie or a maxie hunter; for hunting for target its hard to beat RB.

Sorry its a .50cal actually I was looking at the T/C renegade, someone mentioned to me that a buffalo bullet shoots well with a little lube. Honestly I wanted to stay away from sabots

Snowman-I shoot 385gr Greatplains conical over 80gr 777/2f in my 1:48 TC. Works for me out to 80 + yards. BM-3 gives the same results,and cleans up a lot better.

Normally the buffalo bullet 245 grain ball-ets shoot well out of a 1-48 twist if you do not push them too hard. Also they come pre lubed. Other projectiles besides the roundball are the maxi ball. They tend to shoot real well out of the Renegades and Hawkins and there is few animals could take a hit from a 370 grain maxiball.

POWERBELT 295 in .50cal tc hawkins.cayugad mentioned the MAXI-BALL 370.
