In MOST cases, muzzle loading firearms can shoot a round ball, OR a cylindrical bullet. Perhaps the best known was the "Minie ball". Named for its creator, this muzzle loaded bullet had a hollow base. On firing, the hollow base was opened by the force of the gunpowder, making the bullet sightly larger, and grip the rifling in th barrel on the way out. Google images of the Minie ball to see what one looks like.

Can you shoot 50 cal out of a 54 cal?

No. Not only will accuracy be worse than a thrown rock, it is potentially dangerous. If the bullet moves forward before firing, it will leave an air space between the powder charge and the bullet. This is an established way to blow up a muzzleloader. Use the right sized bullet for your rifle.


Can you shoot long rifle bullets out of a 9422 xtr 22 magnum?

No. .22 LR and .22 WMR (magnums) are not interchangeable. The .22 Mag is ot only longer, but larger diameter bore and cartridge case. If the LR round fires, it is likely to split the case, and accuracy will suck.
