The Traditions A2011 Smackdown Carnivore is a 50-caliber muzzleloading bullet engineered for hunters pursuing big game at distance. Built around a 305-grain projectile with a polycarbonate tip, this bullet combines expansion potential with the weight retention needed to drive through heavy bone and muscle on elk, moose, bear, and large plains game. If you're running a modern inline muzzleloader and want reliable, accurate performance on trophy-class animals, the Smackdown Carnivore deserves a serious look.

The standout feature here is the redesigned Ridgeback sabot. Horizontal ribbing and a deeper cup work together to improve the gas seal around the bullet, which translates to more consistent ignition and tighter shot groups downrange. The engineering also makes loading easier—a real benefit when you're cycling rounds through your gun at the range or in the field. The polycarbonate tip is tuned to expand reliably without shedding too much of its core, so you get the wound channel you need while the projectile retains enough mass to penetrate deep.

This is a 15-pack, so you'll have enough rounds to practice your trajectory, zero your scope or sights, and build confidence before the season opens. Muzzleloading demands attention to detail—loading technique, powder charge, primer selection, and projectile choice all matter. The Smackdown Carnivore removes guesswork from the bullet itself, letting you focus on what you control.
