TRAD SMACK DOWN 50CAL XR 230GR Ammunition - 15 Pack

The Traditions Smack Down 50-caliber XR 230-grain ammunition gives you a capable long-range muzzleloader round built for hunters who want to stretch their effective distance. These 230-grain projectiles pair a polycarbonate tip with the included Ridgeback Sabot, engineered to deliver stability downrange and consistent expansion on game. Whether you're hunting whitetail or mid-size game, this 15-pack gives you enough rounds for serious practice and hunting days without constantly resupplying.

Muzzleloader performance lives and dies by the sabot—the foundation that creates the gas seal and lets you load cleanly. The Ridgeback Sabot features horizontal ribbing and a deeper cut to tighten that seal, reduce loading friction, and improve shot-to-shot consistency. That means less time fighting stubborn loads in cold weather and more confidence in your accuracy when it matters.

These are designed as flat-shooting rounds, so if you've been limited by the trajectory of lighter 50-cal options, the XR's weight and aerodynamics let you hold better over distance. The polymer tip handles the job without sacrificing the reliability you need from black powder ammunition. With 15 rounds per pack, you've got a solid supply for the season.
