[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2547902, member: 9299"] Yes, a .50 cal will work and well with the right bullets and loads. For decades, I have cast my own ML bullets, balls, etc, and 2 bullets that work well on larger game are the 370gr TC Maxi and a 385gr Buffalo design. Usually, I run 100-110gr of Pyrodex or, if I am feeling nostalgic, even black powder. Today and depending on the state regs, many prefer one of the many sabot loads, but don't underestimate the deep penetration of the old lead bullets. Many a buffalo fell to these old guns and loads.
