Just my 2Cents. If those big conicals aren't stabilizing it may be that they aren't spinning fast enough. I personally would consider 80 grains a light charge for a conical, even in a.50 caliber. A well made .54 should handle up to 120 grains with no trouble. a big charge will give it a kick that will bump it up and make it grab the rifling, give it more velocity and more RPM for more stability and better accuracy. That being said, an 80 grain charge and a 54 caliber ball will kill any game in this hemisphere. in the end, do what works best for you.
