Don’t forget, a muzzle loader is a great way to deliver 300 grains.

In a cannon maybe. 70 to 100 max for a .50 cal muzzle loading rifle.

I believe the gentleman was referring to the bullet weight - and you are also incorrect about propellant charges for the .50: I routinely use 120 grains of FFG in my Hawken.
