Contact the maker of your rifle for their instructions. It will depend on bullet weight. Assuming you mean a .50 cal MUZZLELOADER- and not a .50 Barrett- between 75 and 90 grains of ffG black powder is an average load for a patched ball.

How much blackpowder to use in a 50 cal staghorn mag?
Quick disclaimer load the rifle according to manufacturer load data. what is safe in my rifle may not be safe for yours. There that part is done. That depends on what the stag horn mag rifle likes. The rifle can safely handle 150 grains of powder. black powder is measured by volume not weight. I have a staghorn mag. in 50 cal and it likes 100 grains of pyrodex pellets. I have shot 150 grains of both loose pyrodex and pellets but with no great accuracy. All because the rifle can handle 150 grains of powder doesn't mean it will shoot your bullet accurately. My rifle likes the 100 grains and I get decent groups. There are other factors as well bare in mind different bullets and will shoot differently too.

What is the most powerful air rifle you can buy in the UK?
It's not so much the model of air rifle it's the class of air rifle, and that is the PreCharged Pneumatic (PCP) class of air rifles. Makers like Air Arms, Evanix, Hammerli, and a few others are in this class. These produce more power than any C02, pump or springer air rifle, But these do cost a considerable amount more than a regular air rifle.There are other PCP class air rifles that may, or may not be available in the UK like the ".25 cal AirForce Condor," "357 mm Benjamin Rogue," "50 Cal Sam Yang." All of these are extremely powerful PCP air rifles.All air rifles sold in the U.K. have a power limit of 12 ftlb, no matter who makes it.Don't get caught with one shooting more than that. You will get into big trouble because any more power will put it into the firearms category. If you want something with more power you will have to get a FAC.
