    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
