Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes non lead bullets for a 50 caliber muzzleloader. We tried the Barnes sabots(45 cal with sabot) but were looking for a full 50 cal diameter in non lead

Federal makes one. We just got some in at the lgs that I work at part time. Saw they came in Friday. They weren't on the shelf yet,when I left. They look aerodynamic, but I would think they would need a different ramrod end.
They did peak my interest.

Thor worked well for myself and two friends. Get the sizing pack and figure out which bullet size is best for your rifle.
from link below:
"To determine which bullet is best for your muzzleloader, start with an empty rifle, remove the breechplug and slide in the .500 bullet. If it slips easily down the bore, you then try the .501 and so on. When you find the diameter that requires about 20/30 ft./lbs. of force to push down the barrel (that is comparable to the resistance you get loading a standard sabot bullet), you have found the correct size for your rifle."
