I have killed more than a few elk with 50 cal bullets. Maxiballs or Powerbelts.
Some inlines will have percussion cap nipple included. Inlines are might easier to clean up as you can remove the breech plug, side locks not so much,but it isn't a big deal.
The older Hawkin types are usually a little heavier than the newer in lines. 8-9 pound vs 6-7 for the inline.
Pay particular attention to sights. Some have plastic elevation ramps and clamp.They break in cold weather.
