I was wondering about bullet selection for my muzzleloader.
It’s a traditions classic Kentucky with 33” barrel and 1:66” twist. What would you suggest I use for this I have 250 grain .490 maxi balls.
Maxiballs are made for a faster twist barrel like a 1:48. Don't waste your time with them. Besides a 50 cal round ball is gonna pass thru any deer.I was wondering about bullet selection for my muzzleloader.

That's a twist made for round balls. Shall I assume your rifle is a fifty caliber? You could use a .490 round ball, or even a .495. Only you will be able to decide after testing out both and several powder charges and patch thickness combinations to see which combination gives the best accuracy. Hope this helps.I was wondering about bullet selection for my muzzleloader.
