Pow pow gave me his Thompson .50 cal muzzleloader before he died. I've killed one deer with it before. But only with the round ball bullet.

What other type of bullet can I use?

Round balls work fine but other options include maxi balls, and sabots with a .44 bullet (hollow point, bonded bullet, etc)
