Neither.............. guess again

Mainly because I ain't much on a 50 cal ,neither in traditional or inline .
In traditional I prefer either a .54 in round ball or a .45 fast twist with big lead conical . Like this one that I definitely will use







Although I may change the sight to one of my creedmore sights
