    lyman .50 Deerstalker loads

    I just bougth a 50 cal Deerstalker for hunting. Do you have any trouble loading after a few shots using the thicker patches (.015-.018) I plan on starting with a .490 RB and .010 patch. I worry about having to re-load a time or two in the field and having to pound it down the barrel
