I have a NEF .50 caliber Huntsman. I use a .45 caliber 240 grain jacketed hollow point saboted bullet over three 50 grain pellets of 777. The bullets and sabots come packaged together. They are labeled for use in a .50 caliber. That way I don't have to worry about them being mismatched.

This past season I killed a nice buck with it. It was about a 60 yard shot. The bullet went in its right shoulder and stopped against the skin on its left shoulder. The bullet mushroomed to between .60 and .70 caliber. The deer died where it stood.
