[QUOTE="Elite Muzzleloader, post: 1121574, member: 30759"] Couple things, you might want to check to make sure your rifle will be able to ignite blackhorn209 because if I remember correctly I don't believe an open ignition will work. You can try it and if it works that is great but I'd use pryodex select as a powder. Other than blackhorn209 the other powders are over rated in. My honest opinion. If I can't use blackhorn209 for some reason I'll use pryodex select it has never failed me and I don't have to deal with a crud ring. Two, with a 50 cal is use Thompson center maxi ball 370 grain for elk and never look back. Solid bullet and it will penetrate. I'd start with 90 grains by volume pryodex select and work up. Till you find the sweet spot. You don't need to shoot max load and your shoulder will thank you. Placement on any game is better than energy. Now energy is important but if you hit the critter behind the shoulder you'll be good to go. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
