I am looking at either a 45 or 50 cal muzzle loader for deer hunting in Wisconsin. Since most saboted bullets in 50 cal are actually 44 or 45 cal in diameter anyway wouldn't I be better off using a 45 cal powerbelt bullet in a 45 cal gun? The other problem is the availability of 45 caliber accessories and i am afraid of being stuck in 45 caliber no mans land if the next greatest thing comes out in 50 cal only.

I own a .45 caliber and i shoot powerbelt and my dad shoots a .50 caliber and shoots powerbelts. Neither of us has ever had any problem finding gear or any thing else, but .45 is ussually a little more expensive, but gives you extra range, while .50's have more power and a little cheaper gear.
