[QUOTE="Leslie Sapp, post: 1101333, member: 74272"] Here's the manual. Round balls are fun and cheap, and will cleanly kill anything you're likely to shoot, but I've used a 320gr maxi-ball over 70 grs of FFFG for many years in my TC .50 cal Hawken. That is a light load according to the manual, but I can tell you from experience that this load will shoot through both shields on a big boar hog, and leave a fan shaped spray of blood and pieces of lung on the off side. :D I've killed many head of game with this rifle, and have never recovered a bullet.
