Looks like your rifle likes them!
I have a T/C NewEnglander .50 that likes the 325 gr REAL better than anything else I've tried.

Not to shabby, darn near perfect day for shooting so i got everything set up and loaded the 45 with the 200 grain real bullets with wad, 60 grains T7, first shot @ 100 was 1" high of the bulls eye, second shot again with T7, dropped 2" low but center. 3ed shot was a hangfire and hit the very top of the box. Measuring #1-2 shots was 2 1/2" which wasnt to bad. Im pretty much done with shooting different bullets for now. I have a pack and a half of 225 grain powerbelts left so i'll save those up until hunting season nears and take the powerbelts hunting. Seems to shoot powerbelts the best with T7.

I also tried 40 grains T7 and a PRB, first shot was center but 2" high, second was to the right about 3" and #3 and #4 didnt even show up. For PRB shooting, it prefers pyrodex RS. So, i'll just keep 2 powders on hand.
