Powder Pellets?

[RATROD56]

I have about seventeen side lock muzzleloaders, caps and flints, and one of those inline muzzleloaders,
(not breech loader). Actually it's a barrel for TC Encore that I don't use. Tried it several times in the backyard.
Then I hung it up. Back when I ordered it from TC Custom Shop, Fox Ridge Outfitters, I ordered the one with
1 in 48" twist for patched ball or maxi balls, not the 1 in 28" for sabots, (oops, I just said a very bad word),
I have to go, and that barrel is going to Ebay this summer.

Yeah, I meant to say inline but, wrote breechloading. Didn't know how to change it. i was just curious, I was looking online at powder prices and saw those. I'd never seen them before. BTW. How do I edit my post?

Don't waste your money on them, stick with traditional black powder such as Goex, Swiss, etc. Pellets do not work well or not at all in traditional muzzle loaders and are designed to ignite at the center of the pellet, not the side. They often don't work at all in flintlocks and limit your powder charge to whatever grain amount is in each pellet. My .54 percussion rifle does it's best using 85 grains of 2f. How would I get that amount if the pellets are all 50 grains each? What if I need a 120 grain charge? Pellets don't allow you to work up the most accurate load for your rifle and are designed for those plastic abominations that look like modern suppository guns.

They are also made of rust that burns and can cause great harm to a barrel.
