Everything is loaded from the end of the muzzle. Pour a quantity of black powder down the barrel and tamp it down with the push-rod. Follow that with some shot pellets and tamp those down too. That forms a tight 'plug'.

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 grans of black powder can you put in a 54 Caliber Mountain Stalker?

In theory, you could load about 7000 grains of BLACK POWDER in a .54 cal. However, it would be a lousy load, and blow unburned powder all over. The largest charge is not necesarily the best- and will depend on whether you are shooting patched ball, maxis or sabot. 80-90 grains would be an average hunting load for a .54 with a maxi-ball, but do yourself a favor- contact the maker of your rifle through their website, and get an owner's manual- they are free.


How do you load a Traditions 50 cal bolt action mussel loader?

Your question answers itself, "muzzle loader". You load it from the muzzle. Actually, that's incorrect. They use the term "muzzle loader" improperly. It's a bolt action black powder rifle. The powder is pre-pressed into slugs that you load into the chamber, along with wadding and a bullet. I would guess you could load it down the muzzle, but it's faster and easier to buy the slugs and load that way.
