#1 favorite muzzleloader bullet

They are really good but i recommend trying the lighter 275gr first. The largest 325gr can be harder to stabilize because its long. They usually need a near max charge for best accuracy.
In a 54cal the Speer 300gr and 325gr 50cals in a MMP 54x50 sabot are hard to beat for the money. Rainier 335gr HPs are also really good and cheap.
Hard to beat 100 bullets for $28.

Alexander Arms uses this exact same bullet in their 50 Beowulf ammo at around 1900fps.

I use the new Knight Bloodlines made by Lehigh.
Might look through this thread, I think there are a lot of ideas expressed...

It all depends on what rifle I am shooting. I do like large all lead conical bullets as they tend to anchor deer for me. I need to put that animal down right now so they do not escape into thickets that are near impossible to drag them back out of. But I also have had excellent luck shooting just a plain old round ball.
I think the answer you seek should be addressed to the shooting situation you encounter. Up close and personal, just about anything should work. But if I were going to shoot some extreme long ranges, from what I have range tested, it would be the Barnes MZ Expander, or Shockwaves.

i was going to use speer .452 300 grain deep curls but they are impossible to find so i heard the barnes expanders were good because they have 100 % weight retention because it is all copper and has no core.
