50 Cal - Whate velocity are you getting?

[sniper20]

Hey guys,

I'm new to muzzleloading and have seen a wide range of velocities listed by different people. I wanted to put a poll up to see what loads people are getting their best accuracy and velocity from.

I know that in the world of metallic cartridges, there are nodes. Different powder charges with harmonics of barrels. I also know that many people don't have access to chronographs. So, I figured I would try to put something together to see if we might be able to help people find a node with their rifles, and others can see if something else might be better than what they use now.

If you can, please list the following on your post:

Rifle
Powder (pellets or loose and brand)
Bullet
Primer
FPS
