Just looking to see what everyone’s preferred combinations are.
Ive been using triple 7 150gr with the 250gr shock waves with no problems for over ten years or so.
Looking into switching over to blackthorn 209 and maybe a new bullet (Scorpion PT Gold or Parker ballistic extreme 300gr).
2 triple 7 pellets, 1 SST 300gr bullet and a triple 7 primer lets my CVA Wolf shoot a 1" group at 100 yds....
Cast round balls in .50 and .54 cal. Patched with .018 denim over 70 grains of ffg Goex and a sprinkling of fffg in the pan. LOL
I and some others have had great results on 50 cal Thompson Center in-lines (known to have tighter bore then others) with the following recipe:
90 gr Blackthorn 209 (volumetric), 250 Shockwave slugs in BLACK sabot, CCI 209 primers.
90 gr of Blackhorn 209 with a 300 gr Hornady . Accurate and drops them hard.
triple 7s with 300 g hornadys, CCI 209 primers out of the buckstalker. goes boom, makes smoke, deer falls down goes thud.
excited to deer hunt with it again.
100gr of Pyrodex RS under a .490 patched round ball hits to the sights at 50 yards and a decent group too, better than expected going up that high in powder, this is ignited with a CCI No 11 cap.
I hope to see how it performs on deer in December.
325 Hornady FTX and 68 grains of H4198.

250 grain TC Shockwaves (ones with yellow tips), 100 grains of loose 777, Remington Kleenbore or TC 209 primer. Never had any reason to change this. Sub moa at 100yds out of two different TC Omegas.
100grs Blackhorn 209, 250gr Barnes Spitfire TMZ, Nikon inline XR with BDC on a TC Impact. I am comfortable out to 200 yds with this set up.
Two pellets of triple 7 & TC 250gr shock wave super glide with a cci 209 primer, using a Thompson center Omega, I have shot many deer from 80 yards to as close as 12 yards
Full form sabotless .458 300 grain TTSX running at 2700 fps. Won’t post powder as it is for three different custom smokeless muzzleloader and is specific to the builds.
1/2 MOA to 300 yards
I will be using two ML's this year...my .50 cal in-line Tradition's favour's 85 gr of Pyrodex pushing a 330 gr .45 (sabot) Keith Nose .Quote:

Try the 44 cal 260 grn SST with a green sabot. They dont sell them in a pack. You get alot more for your money buying a 50 piece box and sabot separately. I use 120 grns of powder( it doesnt matter which) under it or 2 pellets if you dont have loose powder. These bullets were made for the 444 marlin, but they work great....
CVA Accura MR
Hornady SST, 250 gr
IMR White Hots, 100 gr (2 pellets)
CCI or Federal 209
130gr triple 7 pellets with 300gr Powerbelt Platinum bullet and W209 primer, out of my T/C Triumph.
Main gun gets 100gr Pyrodex RS and a 240gr XTP, the backup gets 90gr Goex FFG and a 240gr XTP. Both lit by a CCI #11 cap. Next year moving to 300gr XTP
