I use a T/C Renegade .54cal sidelock w/roundball 230gr . For me there is something about traditional gear. Since 1989 been using the T/C only and I haven't picked up a modern rifle since then. I thing it puts more of a sport in it. Nothing wrong with mod-rifles, but they aren't for me.

.50cal looking to up grade to some type of hawken.the inlines are nice but just not my cup of tea
Here's an old one revisited

T/C Omega 130gr pyrodex pellets and 240 grain hollowpoints, topped with 2x7 leupold
DEADLY & DEADLY ACCURATE.[up]
CVA Optima Pro,295 gr. powerbelt,150 gr. pyrodex topped w/ Bushnell scope,mmmmmmmmm good ![up] 200 yards on the money.
In my inline used to shoot the 230 grain hollowpoints with sabots with 100grains of 777. The last batch of Thompson XTP's I purchased the sabots are oversized, hence they are too difficult to ram down the barrel. Switched to Powerbelts.....Maybe I should change my screen name.

In my side lock 1-60 twist patched round balls are the only thing that shoot accuratly. These I shoot with 70 grains of Cleanshot. Round balls are too much trouble for hunting so I shoot the hollow base "balletts" from Buffalo Bullet Company. These guve me a 4" group at 50 yds with 80 grains of Cleanshot.
Knight Master Hunter .50 cal topped with a 3.5X10 Zeiss Conquest. 3 x 50 grain pellets of 777 behind
