Yes indeed. If the twist rate on your .50 is applicable to shooting patched balls this is most definitely an economical option. The 36 cal muzzle loader would make a nice small game getter for sure. The current shortage on ammo has made me look once again very hard at adding another muzzle loader to the stable. But your definitely right on the fact that there hasnt been much of a shortage on black powder or caps for ignition.
I would really like to find a economically priced .36 cal since my in line 50 is only suitable to sabot projectiles. There just doesnt seem to be a lot of .36 cal muzzle loaders out there and most are on the pricey side when you find them. Heck there doesnt seem to be that many 45 cal guns out there for that matter that would allow for using a thicker patch and a smaller ball for a projectile. Being a Squirrel hunter and the population of Rabbits being what it is here, it could be very useful and a lot of fun to boot too!
