TRAD Smack Down 50Cal Carnivore 275Gr - 15 Pack

The Traditions Smack Down 50 Cal Carnivore is a 275-grain muzzleloader bullet engineered for serious big game hunting. This 15-pack gives you reliable ammunition for elk, moose, bear, and other large game where controlled expansion and deep penetration matter. Built on Traditions' proven Ridgeback Sabot platform, it combines modern bullet design with the accuracy and stopping power muzzleloader hunters demand.

What sets the Smack Down apart is its polycarbonate tip, which initiates controlled expansion while the heavy 275-grain construction maintains weight through the hunt. The improved Ridgeback Sabot features horizontal ribbing and a deeper cup that work together to seal gas effectively in your barrel, reduce loading resistance, and tighten your shot groups. That combination of easier handling and better accuracy means more time actually hunting instead of fighting your rifle at the bench.

Whether you're hunting from a stand or glassing open country, consistency matters. The Smack Down's sabot design and proven bullet profile deliver the flat shooting and precision accuracy hunters expect from a quality muzzleloader round. At 275 grains, it carries enough energy and momentum for confident shots on game that can't be lost to marginal performance.
