Either is up to the job. Just limit your shots to under 200 yds, and practice extended ranges at the range. You may have to work (hunt) a little harder to get into range but that's what it's all about. Or you could try to borrow a .30-06. It'd be ideal for this hunt. Sounds like a great trip.

clay..2 inch groups because he wants the cleanest kill he can get. i'm a little finicky about shooting over 100 yards with a muzzleloader, but the new TC's are probably a little more advanced then the muzzleloaders i'm used to. i would say go for it. a 30-30 can easily do that. as for the .50 i would save your shots for less than 100 yards but that's just me. if you feel comfortable touching 100+ i would say go fot it.
