Traditions Smackdown MZX (part no. A2014), sold under the Turner Fabrications label, is a .50 caliber muzzleloader projectile, not a cartridge, built as a 300-grain non-jacketed bullet with a polymer tip for muzzleloader hunters loading their own charges. These sabot-style bullets are seated into a plastic sabot sleeve and loaded down the barrel ahead of the powder charge, letting the shooter separately control powder charge and projectile the way traditional cartridge ammunition doesn’t allow. The polymer tip is designed to initiate expansion on impact for hunting-grade terminal performance. In reloading bullets built for that separate-component approach, this 15-count pack keeps a hunter stocked for a full season.
