yes, i mean a .50, namely the cva elkhorn. came ※this※ close to buying one before i got my 30-30 for christmas. the only thing that put me off was that it seemed all the bullets that were recommended were like $1-2 per. but after hearing this i think i'll start saving again, which may not be long as they are going for well under $200 here. btw, i don't cast my own - yet, but that's still good advice as i didn't know that a bullet could deform from the sheer g's involves... anyway, thanks a lot, i've wanted to get into muzzleloading since i saw my first t/c - something, i think it was buckmaster or woodsman or huntmaster - some kind of two-part name, ring any bells?
