I tried using one of these 45 smoothbores years ago and couldn't connect. I can't remember which charges I used, but the patterns were always blown and useless. I remember the better ones were with Number 7 or 8 shot. It was the same with Pyro or bp.

I didn't have much success with muzzle-loading for live quarry 'til I got an old14 bore single barrel.
Tried it on a plastic bucket at about 30 yards the pattern wasn't to bad enough to take squirrels out of the trees at 10 to 20 yards bolled a rabbit over at 25 yards, not as good as the 410 but more fun, also having to get a bit closer gives me a chance to work on my field craft which after useing the rimfire seemed to get a bit neglected, all in all haven't had this much fun since I started shooting.
