I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that balls and conicals don't expand so much as just kinda flatten. Penetration isn't much of a problem though, and the 50 leaves large holes. I bought an in-line on the advice of my hunting buddies who have owned both traditional and in-line BP's. I told them I wanted it to be as easy as possible. I use saboted 240gr 44mag bullets in front of 150 grains of pyrodex pellets. It also leaves large holes in deer. I can get 3-shot .75 groups at 50 yards with my red dot on it.
