I just got an NEF .50 cal huntsman/sidekick. I'm just getting started with muzzle loading so I have some questions. I bought it off of my brother in law, and he had been shooting round ball out of it with good results. He said that he preferred the round ball because of the ease of loading and the fact that it is less likely to deflect when hitting twigs, compared to a sabotted bullet. Anybody have experience shooting round ball out of modern muzzleloaders? I don't plan on shooting more than 50 yards with it, and the area we hunt is pretty thick, so hitting a twig can be a fairly common occurrence.
