I'm in a bit of a different boat than you guys. I'm a little more "traditional" I guess. I use a .50 cal also, but the twist in my barrell isn't tight enough to shoot a sabot. I like to use a patched ball behind 70 grains of pyrodex. I also use the iron sights. I can hit a paper plate every time at 100 yards and that's good enough for me. I might be able to hit something farther out with some practice, but my eyes can't handle open sights out that far. :-)
I run a patch through it every 5 shots or so and make sure that I clean it with boiling water and dish soap after every trip.
I won't be deer hunting this year though :-( No time or money.
