I have a magnabolt 150 from CVA and I do not like the loading with the small tool for the primer. I am wanting to go to a new gun that breaks down for loading, either a CVA Optima or a TC Encore but my only problem is whether to get .45 or .50? What are the advantages of the .50? So far from some ballistics I read the .45's tend to carry better trajectory and are slightly faster out of the barrel. I would be using this for deer hunting only, so base the caliber on the whitetail deer frame. I am leaning towards .45 as of now for thats what I already have and it seems that every time I hit the stores to buy something for the gun .50 is sold out while .45 has an abundance of stuff (which kinda bothers me cause for some reason everybody is shooting the .50). Tell me what you prefer and why. Thanks in advance.

BTW sorry if this is in the wrong forum I just didnt consider a muzzleloader to be a blackpowder after reading a bunch of the posts in that part of the forum. They seemed to be more geared towards the older style firearms.
